Collections of speech documents can be searched using speech retrieval, in which the documents are processed by a speech recogniser to give text that can be searched by standard text retrieval techniques. Recognition is the translation of speech signals into either words or subword units such as phonemes. We investigated the use of a phoneme-based recogniser to obtain phoneme sequences. We foun...
