Abstract

Speech recognition is a computationally demanding task, particularly the stage which uses Viterbi decoding for converting pre-processed speech data into words or sub-word units. Wepresent an FPGA implementations of the decoder based on continuous hidden Markov models (HMMs) representing monophones, and demonstrate that it can process speech 75times real time, using 45% of the slices of a Xilinx Virtex XCV1000.
