Abstract This thesis is concerned with the design of a speech recognition
system to recognize digits 1, 2, 3 and 4. The system was designed
by using the characteristics of the spectral patterns of amplitude vs.
time at discrete frequencies. Data obtained for digits 0 to 9 are presented.
The outputs of the recognition system are presented in a
Binary Coded Decimal.
A minimum system was evaluated in the laboratory to show
feasibility of the technique. The cost of the major components of the
system, not including labor work was estimated. The test shows that
a 90-95% correct performance was obtained when individual digits
were spoken repeatedly. Also there was an 80-85% correct performance
when there were series of mixed digits spoken.
The system was also tested by using different speakers, five
American, three Thai and two Chinese students. None of them have
been trained. The result obtained was a 50-60% correct performance.
This paper indicates how improved performance can be obtained
by using more frequency channels.
