SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Speech recognition accuracy is significantly enhanced by employing recognition criteria that involve comparison (in blocks 74, 84), as between spoken command words and stored "training" words, of both time-dependent feature arrays (72,73) and time-independent feature vectors (82, 83). The novel time-independent feature vector for any given word consists of a representation of the frequency of occurrence of each particular feature at any of several "time slots" in the word. The extra information about the word gained by a comparison (84) of its vector with a corresponding vector of each training word assists in the final decision (90).
