Speech Recognition of Non-Native Speech Using Native and Non-Native Acoustic Models
Abstract
A speech recognition system is subjected to the speech of non-native speakers, using both native and non-native acoustic phone models. The problems involved with the mapping of phone set from the non- native to native language are investigated, and a detailed analysis of phone confusions is made. For Dutch speakers, British English acoustic models give the best word recognition results.
