Abstract

In recent years, speech recognition and enhancement have grown in importance. Similarly, the modulation domain has gained attention in speech applications because that provides a more compact representation. Motivated by the development in the modulation domain and speech recognition. This paper aims to identify Arabic vowels using the energy contained in the envelopes based on the artificial neural network. In this work, the network was tested with a single hidden layer. As a result of the comparison with four neural network architectures, the results of the proposed network architecture have been analyzed and discussed. The proposed approach based on the energy of the envelope shows reliable results and works well with the artificial neural network.
