The COST 249 SpeechDat Multilingual Reference Recogniser
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
The COST 249 SpeechDat reference recogniser is a fully automatic, language-independent training procedure for building a phonetic recogniser. It relies on the HTK toolkit and a SpeechDat(II) compatible database. The recogniser is designed to serve as a reference system in multilingual recognition research. This paper documents version 0.95 of the reference recogniser and presents results on small and medium vocabulary recognition for five languages.
