摘要
The performance of Automatic Speech recognition system (ASR) built using close talk microphones degrades in noisy environments. ASR built using Throat Microphone (TM) speech shows relatively better performance under such adverse situations. However, some of the sounds are not well captured in TM. In this work we explore the combined use of Normal Microphone (NM) and TM features to improve the recognition rate of ASR. In the proposed work, the combined Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) derived from the two signals are used to built an ASR in the HMM framework to recognize the 145 syllabic units of Indian language Hindi. The performance of this combined ASR system shows a significant improvement in performance when compared with individual ASR systems built using NM and TM features, respectively.
