Why Speech Recognition ?????

Decrease the human intervention in different processes or in other words automate them. Security and privacy of documents.

Challenges in speech Recognition

Human speech parameterized by different variables which vary from speaker to speaker. Speech signal consists of both vowels and consonants. Speech signal is not stationary. Languages vary the speech.

Approaches
Feature Extraction. Frequency domain analysis. FT Projects signals onto complex sines and cosines, infinitely long signals WT Carries both temporal location - like an impulse - and frequency content - like a sinusoid.

Conception of wavelets
Wavelets are localized waves and have their energy concentrated in time. Wave means Oscillatory and let means Quick decaying. Difference between wave and wavelet :-

Wavelet Transform
National Institute Of Science & Technology

Wavelet transform decomposes a signal into a set of basis functions. Wavelets are obtained from a single prototype wavelet y(t) called mother wavelet by dilations and shifting.

1 t b a ,b (t ) = ( ) a a
where a is the scaling parameter and b is the shifting parameter.

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which transforms a

time signal to a discrete wavelet representation. Equation of a discrete mother wavelet

Daubechies wavelet transform :National Institute Of Science & Technology

An orthonormal, compactly supported family of wavelets. Calculated using the scaling functions and wavelet functions. Is the default wavelet transform present in mat lab.

Speech Recognition : Using Daubechies WT the signal is divided in to no of octaves. Analyze the different octaves and the characteristic octave is found out. Different characteristic properties are magnitude of the amplitude No of samples above a threshold level. Templates are created for different spoken words. Each time the input signal is compared with the templates.

Conclusion
Wavelets proves to be an effective method in analyzing speech signals that contain both steady state characteristics (vowels) and transient characteristics (consonants). Better result can be got by finding even more differences in different octaves between each of the digits and adding formants and pitch determinations to the wavelet analysis. Future idea Use of continuous wavelet transform which steps though the frequencies and times continuously.
