Abstract

There are many open source packages available for automatic speech recognition (ASR) worldwide. In this project, it is aimed to customize a selected open source package for our Indian (Hindi) and Indian users. The outcome of the project is a system developed on an embedded system platform with LINUX OS capable of recognizing a set of Hindi words in a selected domain. Currently we focused on Hindi digits and terminologies related to agricultural domain. The embedded board we consider is Raspberry pi and the open source ASR package is Sphinx supported by United Kingdom acoustic model.
