Abstract :
One of the major challenges in speech synthesis and recognition is coarticulated unit segmentation. In this paper we present a novel technique for segmenting the basic coarticulated units using multifactorial analysis based approach. The proposed algorithm is applied on isolated spoken words in Bangla. The results obtained from a considerably large database show the strength of the approach.
