Abstract

This article presents a cross-lingual study for Hungarian and Finnish about the segmentation of continuous speech on word and phrasal level by examination of supra-segmental parameters. A word level segmentationer has been developed which can indicate the word boundaries with acceptable precision for both languages. The ultimate aim is to increase the robustness of speech recognition on the language modelling level by the detection of word and phrase boundaries, and thus we can significantly decrease the searching space during the decoding process. Searching space reduction is highly important in the case of agglutinative languages.
