Research in automatic speech recognition has been done for almost four decades. This project aims to develop automated English digits speech recognition system using Matlab. The system is able to recognize the spoken utterances by translating the speech waveform into a set of feature vectors using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) technique, which then estimates the observation likelihood by using the Forward algorithm. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) parameters are estimated by applying the Baum-Welch algorithm on previously trained samples. The most likely sequence is then decoded...
