Automatic Speech Segmentaion Using the Arabic Phonetic Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a special algorithm is developed to accomplish segmentation for the Arabic speech based on energy level of the uttered words or sentences. In Arabic language, phonemes can be divided into two energy regions: unvoiced phonemes are categorized as low energy, for example, the sounds / س / (/s/) and / ـه / (/h/); On the other hand, vowels and semi-vowels such as / _َ / ) هحتف ( (/ ‘a /) and /و / (/w/) are categorized as high energy. Also included in this category are voiced fricatives; for instance the sounds /ز / (/z/) and /ع/ (/aa/). The Arabic Phonetic Database (KAPD) developed by the Computer and Electronics Research Institute at KACST is utilized to perform the automatic segmentation of speech and test the developed algorithm.

متن کاملExperiments on Automatic Recognition of Nonnative Arabic Speech
The automatic recognition of foreign-accented Arabic speech is a challenging task since it involves a large number of nonnative accents. As well, the nonnative speech data available for training are generally insufficient. Moreover, as compared to other languages, the Arabic language has sparked a relatively small number of research efforts. In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of n...
