Current State of the Art in Large Vocabulary Automatic Speech Recognition Algorithms

Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition has progressed enormously over the last three decades. There are now practical commercial systems available capable of accurately recognizing vocabularies of thousands of words from cooperative talkers. However, there are still many applications ofspeech recognition beyond the capabilities of today’s recogniaers, including, for example, recognition of speech in conversations and meetings. This article describes some of the recent advances in speech recognition technology that are making substantial inroads in handling such challenging problems
