We propose an interface for a name input based on speech recognition using syllable-based N-gram and a word dictionary. Name utterance is hard to recognize accurately because of the large vocabulary size, so the system uses continuous syllable recognition with syllable-based N-gram and isolated word recognition with a dictionary containing frequent words. User first utters a name and then choos...

In this paper, we develop a keyword spotting system using vocabulary-independent speech recognition technique, and investigate several non-keyword modeling methods to improve its performance. In order to overcome the weakness of conventional syllable model, we propose the syllable filler based on syllable information of keywords and syllable-like filler model. The former prohibits syllable fill...

The present study addressed the issue of syllable activation during visual recognition of French words. In addition, it was investigated whether word orthographic information underlies syllable effects. To do so, words were selected according to the frequency of their first syllable (high versus low) and the frequency of the orthographic correspondence of this syllable (high versus low). For ex...

In this study, the effects of syllable position, syllable type and vowels on the intensity of disyllabic words in Sundanese are analyzed. It is shown from the result that, in Sundanese, for disyllabic words, the first syllable tends to be stressed, so the intensity values of vowels in the first syllable are larger than that in the second syllable. As the CVC syllable is phonologically heavier t...
