Abstract
Speech recognition based on the syllable segment is discussed in the paper. Special emphasis is put on the methods for estimation of syllable boundaries and methods of comparison of syllable segments by DTW algorithms. The method of characteristic function for estimating of the boundaries between syllable segments is introduced. This method is also utilized in the proposed DTW algorithm for syllable segments.
