A Recognition Judgment Method of Isolated-Word Speech-Recognition

Abstract

Isolated-word speech-recognition system adopted the shortest distance of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to make recognition judgment, which has the disadvantage of high False Accept Rate (FAR), poor anti-noise and robustness. This paper proposes a new method based on DTW distance Threshold Estimation for recognition judgment. This method processes the maximum distance between template speech and training input speech multiplying adjusting coefficient, then plus noise DTW distance, which regard the final result as distance Threshold Estimation. At the time of doing speech recognition, if the distance between testing speech and template speech exceeds the Threshold Estimation, then the system will not recognize this speech. The experiment shows that this method can greatly improve the anti-noise and robustness performance of the Isolated-word speech-recognition system and solve the problem of high FAR.
