An Open-Source Speech Recognizer for Brazilian Portuguese with a Windows Programming Interface

Abstract. This work is part of the effort to develop a speech recognition system for Brazilian Portuguese. The resources for the training and test stages of this system, such as corpora, pronunciation dictionary, language and acoustic models, are publicly available. Here, an application programming interface is proposed in order to facilitate using the opensource Julius speech decoder. Performance tests are presented, comparing the developed systems with a commercial software. Key words: Continuous speech recognition, Brazilian Portuguese resources, application programming interface.
