About This Project
Implemented the Goertzel algorithm, which is optimized for detecting specific frequencies in a signal. Used NumPy for fast numerical computations and Matplotlib to visualize frequency components and detection results.
Audio input is sampled and processed through the Goertzel algorithm to detect specific DTMF frequencies (697-1633 Hz). NumPy arrays enable efficient computation, and Matplotlib provides real-time visualization of detected tones.
