METHODS FOR PHONEMIC RECOGNITION IN SPEECH PROCESSING

Abstract

With present day speech compression systems in mind, an analysis of the 'method of distinctive features' as proposed by Jakobson, Fant, and Halle of MIT is offered. This method for achieving reliable speech recognition at the phonemic level is in a partial stage of development. The measurements required to extract six of the ten features are tabulated and procedures for reducing the remaining four features are outlined. Sonagraphic data are given in support of the method. Instrumentation and flow charts for digital computer investigation of the process are detailed. The proposed acoustical input device will facilitate computer studies of speech processes.
