Continuous kannada speech segmentation and speech recognition based on threshold using MFCC And VQ

Abstrak

Continuous speech segmentation and its  recognition is playing important role in natural language processing. Continuous context based Kannada speech segmentation depends  on context, grammer and semantics rules present in the kannada language. The significant feature extraction of kannada speech signal  for recognition system is quite exciting for researchers. In this paper proposed method  is  divided into two parts. First part of the method is continuous kannada speech signal segmentation with respect to the context based is carried out  by computing  average short term energy and its spectral centroid coefficients of  the speech signal present in the specified window. The segmented outputs are completely  meaningful  segmentation  for different scenarios with less segmentation error. The second part of the method is speech recognition by extracting less number Mel frequency cepstral coefficients with less  number of codebooks  using vector quantization .In this recognition is completely based on threshold value.This threshold setting is a challenging task however the simple method is used to achieve better recognition rate.The experimental results shows more efficient  and effective segmentation    with high recognition rate for any continuous context based kannada speech signal with different accents for male and female than the existing methods and also used minimal feature dimensions for training data.
