Abstract
An approach to the problem of inter-speaker variability in automatic speech recognition is described which exploits systematic vowel differences in a two-stage process of adaptation to individual speaker characteristics. In stage one, an accent identification procedure selects one of four gross regional English accents on the basis of vowel quality differences within four calibration sentences. In stage two, an adjustment procedure shifts the regional reference vowel space onto the speaker's vowel space as calculated from the accent identification data. Results for 58 speakers from the four regional accent areas are presented.
