Word spotting in continuous speech using wavelet transform

No / Word spotting in continuous speech is considered a challenging issue due to dynamic nature of speech. Literature contains a variety of novel techniques for the isolated word recognition and spotting. Most of these techniques are based on pattern recognition and similarity measures. This paper amalgamates the use of different techniques that includes wavelet transform, feature extraction and Euclidean distance. Based on the acoustic features, the proposed system is capable of identifying and localizing a target (test) word in a continuous speech of any length. Wavelet transform is used for the time-frequency representation and filtration of speech signal. Only high intensity frequency components are passed to feature extraction and matching process resulting robust performance in terms of matching as well as computational cost.
