Abstract
Automatic speech recognition is the central part of the wheel towards the natural person-to-machine interaction technique. Due to the high disparity of speaking styles, speech recognition surely demands composite methods to constitute this irregularity. A speech recognition method can work in numerous distinct states such as speaker dependent/independent speech, isolated/continuous/spontaneous speech recognition, for less to very large vocabulary. The Punjabi language is being spoken by concerning 104 million peoples in India, Pakistan and other countries with Punjabi migrants. The Punjabi language is written in Gurmukhi writing in Indian Punjab, while in Shahmukhi writing in Pakistani Punjab. In the paper, the objective is to build the speaker independent automatic spontaneous speech recognition system for the Punjabi language. The system is also capable to recognize the spontaneous Punjabi live speech. So far, no work has to be achieved in the area of spontaneous speech recognition system for the Punjabi language. The user interfaces for Punjabi live speech system is created by using the java programming. Till now, automatic speech system is trained with 6012 Punjabi words and 1433 Punjabi sentences. The performance measured in terms of recognition accuracy which is 93.79% for Punjabi words and 90.8% for Punjabi sentences.
