Hindi is very complex language with large number of phonemes and being used with various ascents in different regions in India. In this manuscript, speaker dependent and independent isolated Hindi word recognizers using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is implemented, under noisy environment. For this study, a set of 10 Hindi names has been chosen as a test set for which the training and testing is performed. The scheme instigated here implements the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) in order to compute the acoustic features of the speech signal. Then, K-means algorithm is used for the codebook generation by performing clustering over the obtained feature space. Baum Welch algorithm is used for re-estimating the parameters, and finally for deciding the recognized Hindi word whose model likelihood is highest, Viterbi algorithm has been implemented; for the given HMM. This work resulted in successful recognition with 98.6% recognition rate for speaker dependent recognition, for total of 10 speakers (6 male, 4 female) and 97.5% for speaker independent isolated word recognizer for 10 speakers (male).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
