ABSTRACT:
An accent compensative speech recognition system and related methods for use with a signal processor generating one or more feature vectors based upon a voice-induced electrical signal are provided. The system includes a first-language acoustic module that determines a first-language phoneme sequence based upon one or more feature vectors, and a second-language lexicon module that determines a second-language speech segment based upon the first-language phoneme sequence. A method aspect includes the steps of generating a first-language phoneme sequence from at least one feature vector based upon a first-language phoneme model, and determining a second-language speech segment from the first-language phoneme sequence based upon a second-language lexicon model.
