Abstract
The paper describes how Markov chains may be applied to speech recognition. In this application, a spectral vector is modeled by a state of the Markov chain, and an utterance is represented by a sequence of states. The Markov chain model (MCM) offers a substantial reduction in computation, but at the expense of a significant increase in memory requirement when compared to the hidden Markov model (HMM). Experiments on isolated word recognition show that the MCM achieved results that are comparable to those of the HMMs tested for comparison
