Abstract
A system for recognizing a continuously spoken word sequence with reference to preselected reference words with the problem of coarticulation removed, comprises a pattern memory for memorizing demi-word pair reference patterns consisting of a former and a latter reference pattern segment for each reference word and a word pair reference pattern segment for each permutation with repetition of two words selected from the preselected reference words. A recognition unit is operable as a finite-state automaton on concatenating the demi-word pair reference patterns so that no contradiction occurs at each interface of the reference patterns in every concatenation. It is possible to use the automaton in restricting the number of reference patterns in each concatenation either to an odd or an even positive integer.
