Abstract
A method and system for transforming a sampling rate in speech recognition systems, in accordance with the present invention, includes the steps of providing cepstral based data including utterances comprised of segments at a reference frequency, the segments being represented by cepstral vector coefficients, converting the cepstral vector coefficients to energy bands in logarithmic spectra, filtering the energy bands of the logarithmic spectra to remove energy bands having a frequency above a predetermined portion of a target frequency and converting the filtered logarithmic spectra to modified cepstral vector coefficients at the target frequency. Another method and system convert system prototypes for speech recognition systems from a reference frequency to a target frequency.
