Abstract

Classification of words plays a primary vital role to develop a robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) applications due to the diversity in the vocal tract of speakers. This paper presents Neural Network based word classification using the combination of features like, MFCC, Zero Crossing, Zero-Crossing Rate (ZCR) and Formants. The results of word classification are promising.
