Abstract

Speech recognition is carried out by performing a first analysis of a speech signal using a Hidden Semi Markov Model and an asymmetric time warping algorithm. A second analysis is also performed using Multi-Layer Perceptron techniques in conjunction with a neural net. The first analysis is used by the second to identify word boundaries. Where the first analysis provides an indication of the word spoken above a certain level of confidence, an output representative of the word spoken may be generated solely in response to the first analysis, the second analysis being utilized when the level of confidence falls. The output controls a function of an aircraft and provides feedback to the speaker of the words spoken.
