ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the topic SPEECH RECOGNITION which can make a revolutionin the years to come. Speech recognition acts as an interface between the user and thesystem. Its applications vary to the extent that it is a successful replacement for inputdevices like Keyboard ,mouse etc. This paper contains information about AutomaticSpeech Recognition which decodes speech signals to phones, which is the basic building block of any word. Speech Recognition Systems are classified as Dependent andIndependent Systems. Dependent systems recognize the sound generated by a singlespeaker whereas an Independent System recognizes sounds generated by multiplespeakers. Based on the delivery of speech it is divided into two parts i.e. Isolated WordSystems and Continuous Speech Systems. An isolated-word system operates on singlewords at a time - requiring a pause between saying each word and a Continuous SpeechSystem operates on speech in which words are connected together. There are severalapproaches to automatic speech recognition Acoustic-Phonetic, Artificial Intelligenceand Pattern Recognition.In this paper an experiment has been described, where the speech signal is convertedinto phonetics. These phones are combined together to form the word which is closest tothe word spoken by the speaker and hence the recognition of the signal is successful.Graphs of few phones are shown in order to distinguish voiced and unvoiced sounds.Speech recognition finds its major applications in the field of communication, accesssecurity, spontaneous data entry and artificial intelligence.In the conclusion, the Speech Recognition systems has failed to give accurate resultas the accent varies from one person to the other and also the other factors likeenvironmental noise which makes significant contribution for the failure of such systems.

SPEECH RECOGNITION

Introduction

Speech recognition technologies allow computers equipped with a source of sound input,such as a microphone, to interpret human speech, e.g., for transcription or as analternative method of interacting with a computer

Automatic Speech Recognition

Automatic speech recognition is the process by which a computer maps an acousticspeech signal to text. Automatic speech understanding is the process by which a computer maps an acoustic speech signal to some form of abstract meaning of the speech.

What does speaker dependent / adaptive / independent mean?

A speaker dependent system is developed to operate for a single speaker. These systemsare usually easier to develop, cheaper to buy and more accurate, but not as flexible asspeaker adaptive or speaker independent systems.A speaker independent system is developed to operate for

any

speaker of a particular type(e.g. American English). These systems are the most difficult to develop, most expensiveand accuracy is lower than speaker dependent systems. However, they are more flexible.
