Automatic speech recognition and speaker recognition have a lot of applications in personal identification, access control and in the new man-machine-interface paradigm. The existing applications in voice-activated embedded systems solve the problem of recognition of the spoken words only or the problem of recognition of a speaker through the words uttered only. The goal of this project, therefore, is the development of a robust algorithm for both speech recognition and speaker verification. An example of a target application of this work is speech dialing of mobile phones with a speaker...
