Abstract :
A speech recognition system based on HTK for Polish is presented. It was trained on 365 utterances, all spoken by 26 males. The features of Polish with respect to speech recognition are described. Some aspects of speech recognition differ in comparison to English. Errors in recognition were analysed in details in an attempt to find reasons and scenarios of wrong recognitions.
