DWT features performance analysis for automatic speech recognition of Urdu
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the work on Automatic Speech Recognition of Urdu language, using a comparative analysis for Discrete Wavelets Transform (DWT) based features and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). These features have been extracted for one hundred isolated words of Urdu, each word uttered by ten different speakers. The words have been selected from the most frequently used words of Urdu. A variety of age and dialect has been covered by using a balanced corpus approach. After extraction of features, the classification has been achieved by using Linear Discriminant Analysis. After the classification task, the confusion matrix obtained for the DWT features has been compared with the one obtained for Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients based speech recognition. The framework has been trained and tested for speech data recorded under controlled environments. The experimental results are useful in determination of the optimum features for speech recognition task.
