Recent Progress in the Sphinx Speech Recognition System

This paper describes recent improvements in the SPHINX Speech Recognition System. These enhancements include function-phrase modeling, between-word coarticulation modeling, and corrective training. On the DARPA resource management task, SPHINX attained a speaker-independent word accuracy of 96% with a grammar (perplexity 60), and 82% without grammar (perplexity 997).
