description In spite of the advances accomplished throughout the last few decades, automatic speech recognition (ASR) is still a challenging and difficult task when the systems are applied in the real world. Different requirements for various applications drive the researchers to explore for more effective ways in the particular application. Attempts to apply artificial neural networks (ANN) as a classification tool are proposed to increase the reliability of the system. This project studies the approach of using neural network for speaker independent isolated word recognition on small vocabularies and proposes a method to have a simple MLP as speech recognizer. Our approach is able to overcome the current limitations of MLP in the selection of input buffers’ size by proposing a method on frames selection.
