Abstract
A voice recognition system is disclosed which has incorporated therein information on the phonological effects on syllables. The system receives a voice signal and tentatively identifies syllable arrays and provides a collection of data on syllables in the arrays. The data are used to generate hypothetical syllable arrays from the tentatively identified arrays. The hypothetical arrays are evaluated via arithmetic operations, taking into consideration the effects of context, the speaker's habit and dialect, thereby determining a reliable representation of the input voice signal.
