Abstract

Speech recognition is a method that allows machines to convert the incoming speech signals into text commands. This paper presents a brief survey on automatic speech recognition systems based on HTK, Julius, MATLAB, Sphinx and Kaldi. A description of the mentioned speech recognition systems is discussed, and the structure and performance of these different systems are presented.
