ABSTRACT:
A method for recognizing speech elements (e.g., phones) in utterances includes the following steps. Based on acoustic frequency, at least two different acoustic representatives are isolated for each of the utterances. From each acoustic representative, tentative decision information on the speech element in the corresponding utterance is derived. A final decision on the speech element in the utterance is then generated, based on the tentative decision information derived from more than one of the acoustic representatives.
