Abstract

The present manuscript focuses on building automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for Marathi language (M-ASR) using Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK). The M-ASR system gives the detail about experimentation and implementation using the HTK Toolkit. In this work total 106 speaker independent Marathi isolated words were recognized. These unique Marathi words are used to train and evaluate M-ASR system. The speech corpus (database) is created by us using isolated Marathi words uttered with mixed gender people. The system uses Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) for the purpose of extracting features using Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Viterbi algorithm based on token passing is used for decoding to recognize unknown utterances. The proposed M-ASR system is speaker independent. The proposed system has reported 96.23% word level recognition accuracy.
