Connected Digit Recognition in a Multilingual Environment

Abstract

The several languages and language dialects used by the member nations of NATO generate many questions regarding the use of speech recognition systems for NATO related applications. Two questions which immediately arise are: (a) are speech recognition systems sensitive to the differences between the several languages even though each system may be trained on a specific language of interest. and (b) of an operator of a speech recognition system uses al language other than his/her primary language. is the recognition performance of the system compromised by the use of the secondary language? Research Study Group 10 of NATO (AC/243. Panel III) addressed these and other questions by conducting a series of speech recognition tests using a multiple-language speech database. This report concentrates on the connected digit recognition performance. Keywords: Great Britain.
