Performance of Isolated Digit Speech Recognition in Crowded Environment.

Speech recognition is a process that recognizes what the speaker says. Its objective is to extract, characterize and recognize the information in the speech signal conveying what the speaker says. One of major problems in speech recognition domain is disturbance caused by background noise. This dist...

This research objective is to measure the performance of isolated digit speech recognition in crowded environment.
