English Speech Recognition System on Chip

An English speech recognition system was implemented on a chip,called speech system-on-chip (SoC).The SoC included an application specific integrated circuit with a vector accelerator to improve performance.The sub-word model based on a continuous density hidden Markov model recognition algorithm ran on a very cheap speech chip.The algorithm was a two-stage fixed-width beam-search baseline system with a variable beam-width pruning strategy and a frame-synchronous word-level pruning strategy to significantly...
