Abstract

In this paper, we are proposing a new approach to build an Amazigh automated speech recognition system using Amazigh environment. This system is based on the open source CMU Sphinx-4, from the Carnegie Mellon University. CMU Sphinx is a large-vocabulary; speaker-independent, continuous speech recognition system based on discrete Hidden Markov Models (HMMs).
