Abstract :
This correspondence presents the first known results of complete recognition of continuous Mandarin speech for the Chinese language with very large vocabulary but very limited training data. Various acoustic and linguistic processing techniques were developed, and a prototype system of a continuous speech Mandarin dictation machine has been successfully implemented. The best recognition accuracy achieved is 92.2% for finally decoded Chinese characters
