Abstract :
Accent based on Speaker Variation plays an important role on the performance of Bangla (widely used as Bengali) automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper, we have analyzed how much performance variation because of these accents is found. The analysis has showed a significant variation of word correct rates, word accuracies and sentence correct rates because of the different accents due speaker variation. It is expected that this experimental analysis will lead the researcher to improve the performance of ASR by minimizing the effects due to speakers´ variation.
