READ-A Bangla Phoneme Recognition System

摘要

Speech Recognition is a challenging task especially for a multilingual country like India as the speakers are habituated in using mixed language and accent. Bangla is a very popular language in East Asia and a fully functional Automated Speech Recognition System (ASR) for it is yet to be developed. Every language embodies a set of sounds called phoneme set, which is the building block for the words of that language. READ (Record Extract Approximate Distinguish) is a Bangla phoneme recognition system, proposed toward the development of a Bangla ASR. To start with, Mel Scale Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features have been used for testing on a database of 1400 Bangla vowel phonemes and an accuracy of 98.35% has been obtained.
