This paper presents a Neural Network based Nepali Speech Recognition model. RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) is used for processing sequential audio data. CTC (Connectionist Temporal Classification) [1] technique is applied allowing RNN to train over audio data. CTC is a probabilistic approach of maximizing the occurrence probability of the desired labels from RNN output. After processing through RNN and CTC layers, Nepali text is obtained as output. This paper also defines a character set of 67 Nepali characters required for transcription of Nepali speech to text.
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.
