function [ spect, frqs ] = LTASS( speech_folder_OR_vec, nfft, fs )
% Computes the Long-Term Average Speech Spectrum from a folder of speech files or vector of speech samples
%
% Syntax:	[ spect, frqs ] = LTASS( speech_folder_OR_vec, nfft )
%
% Inputs:
% 	speech_folder_OR_vec - The path to the folder containing the speech
%                          files OR a vector of concatenated speech signals
% 	nfft - The number of FFT points used to compute the LTASS
% 	fs - The sampling frequency to use (if not provided then the sampling
%        frequency of the file is used)
%
% Outputs:
% 	spect - The LTASS spectrum
% 	frqs - The frequency vector for the spectrum
