Evaluating endpoint detection algorithms for isolated word from Malay parliamentary speech
This paper presents the endpoint detection approaches specifically for an isolated word uses Malay spoken speeches from Malaysian Parliamentary session. Currently, there are 7,995 vocabularies of utterances in the database collection and for the purpose of this study; the vocabulary is limited to te...

This paper presents the endpoint detection approaches specifically for an isolated word uses Malay spoken speeches from Malaysian Parliamentary session. Currently, there are 7,995 vocabularies of utterances in the database collection and for the purpose of this study; the vocabulary is limited to ten words which are most frequently spoken selected from ten speakers. Endpoint detection, which aims to distinguish the speech and non-speech segments of digital speech signal, is considered as one of the key preprocessing steps in speech recognition system. Proper estimation of the start and end of the speech (versus silence or background noise) avoids the waste of speech recognition evaluations on preceding or ensuing silence. In this study, the endpoint detection and speech segmentation task is achieved by using the short-time energy (STE) and short-time zero crossing (STZC) measures and combination of both approaches. As a result, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) recognizer derived the recognition accuracy rate of 91.4% for combination of both algorithms, if compared only 86.3% for STE and 82.1% for STZC rate alone. The experiments show that there are many problems arise where there are still misdetection of word boundaries for the words with weak fricative and nasal sounds.
