A Design of Spanish Speech Speech Recognition System

This thesis investigates the design and implementation strategies for a Spanish speech recognition system. It utilizes the speech features of the 242 common Spanish mono-syllables as the major training and recognition methodology. A training database of twelve utterances per mono-syllable is established by applying Spanish pronunciation rules. These twelve utterances are collected through reading six rounds of the same mono-syllable with two different tones. The first pronounced pattern has high pitch of tone one, while the second one has falling pitch of tone four. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, linear predictive cepstral coefficients, and hidden Markov model are used as the two feature models and the recognition model respectively. Under the AMD Sempron Processor 2800+ with 1.6GHz clock rate personal computer and Ubuntu 9.04 operating system environment, a correct phrase recognition rate of 86% can be reached for a 4217 Spanish phrase database. The average computation time for each phrase is about 1.5 seconds.
