Abstract :
A phonetically based approach to speech recognition uses speech specific knowledge obtained from phonotactics, phonology and acoustic phonetics to capture relevant phonetic information. Thus, a recognition system based on this approach can make broad classifications as well as detailed phonetic distinctions. This paper discusses a framework for developing a phonetically based recognition system. The recognition task is the class of sounds known as the semivowels. The recognition results reported, though incomplete, are encouraging.
