Abstract
A speech recognizer which utilizes hypothesis testing to determine formant frequencies for use in speech recognition. A pre-processor (36) receives speech signal frames and utilizes linear predictive coding to generate all formant frequency candidates. An optimum formant selector (38) operates with a comparator (40) to select from the formant candidates those formants which best match stored reference formants. A dynamic time warper (42) and high level recognition logic (44) operate to determine whether or not to declare a recognized word.
