Abstract
Speech recognition is the process of automatically
extracting and determining linguistic information conveyed by
a speech wave using computers or electronic circuits. This
area is an extremely important and has a tremendous potential
for widespread use in the field of man-machine communication
by voice. Within the general area of man-machine communication
by voice, there are three major areas (modes of
communication) to be recognized. These areas include: l)voice
response systems, 2)speaker recognition systems, and 3)speech
recognition systems.
Voice response systems are designed to respond to a request
for information using spoken messages. Thus voice response
systems communicate by voice in one direction only, i.e from
the machine to man.
On the other hand, areas 2 and 3 in the above list deal
with systems in which communication is by voice from man to
machine. For speaker recognition systems the task of the
system is to either verify a speakers identity or to identify
the speaker from some known ensemble. Thus the speaker
recognition area is itself broken down into the sub-areas of
speaker verification and speaker identification.
