ABSTRACT: A hidden Markov model (HMM) based isolated word recognizer IC is presented in this paper. The test chip was fabricated with a 0.35 μm CMOS technology. In this design double-mixture probability density and table look-up method are employed. The chip can operate at 20MHz at 3.3V and at this frequency the recognition time is 0.5 sec for a 50-word speech library. Tested with 353 speech data from AURORA 2 databases, the chip's recognition accuracy is 93.8%. This new IC can be used in Cantonese speech recognition.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the design, simulation and measurement results of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based isolated word recognizer IC with double mixtures. Table look-up technique is employed in this design. The chip operates at 20 MHz at 3.3 V. The recognition time is 0.5 s for a 50-word speech library. The speech IC has been verified with 467 test speech data and the recognition accuracy is 93.8%. A reference software recognizer using the same algorithm and speech library has a recognition accuracy of 94.2%. The new speech IC that uses a table look up to reduce the complexity of the circuit has approximately the same recognition accuracy as an ideal software recognizer.
