A Design of Speech Recognition System for Chinese Names of Historical Figures Around the World

A design of speech recognition system for Chinese names of historical figures around the world is proposed in this thesis. A speech database of approximately forty-six thousand Chinese names is collected and recorded twice for system evaluation. This system applies Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients, monosyllable HMM¡¦s and speech-text alignment scheme to accomplish initial candidate selection. A Mandarin pitch identification mechanism is then followed to increase the correct rate and obtain the final answer. The experimental results indicate that a 90% correct identification rate can be achieved, under the condition that the first session recording material is used for training and the second one for testing. For the speaker dependent case, the correct name can be recognized within 1.5 seconds, using a PC with an Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz CPU and RedHat Linux 9.0 Operation System.
