Abstract

At Delft University of Technology there is a project running on multimodal interfaces on the interaction of speech and lipreading. A large vocabulary speaker independent speech recognizer for the Dutch language was developed using Hidden Markov Toolkit and the Polyphone database of recorded Dutch speech. To make the system more noise robust audio cues provided by an automatic lip-reading technique were integrated in the system. In this paper we give an outline of both systems and present results of experiments.
