Speech Recognition in Hindi

Abstract

This project is an attempt towards reducing the gap between the computer and the people of rural India, by allowing them to use Hindi language, the most common language being used by the people in rural areas. Speech recognition will, indeed, play a very significant role in promoting the technology in the rural areas. Although many speech interfaces are already available, the need is for speech interfaces in local Indian languages, hence we attempt to build a speech recognition system in Hindi, in this
project.
The project report explains in brief about the basic model of a speech recognition engine and its different modules. It also briefs about the construction of the Hindi language dictionary and training the model for recognition of speech and finally testing the model for accuracy. The results of the tests have been provided and finally the report ends with the derived conclusion and recommended future work.
