TBNR: the ThinkIT Broadcast News speech Recognition system

This paper describes the TBNR system, which features at many state-of-the-art technologies of speech recognition, covering the decoder, acoustic modeling, speech recognition features, and etc. By integrating these technologies, several optimizations have been performed to utilize multi-processors resources. Along with models in several typical languages, these systems could be used at once for several applications. API functions are designed in a way that the users not familiar with speech recognition could finish development writing only several lines of code to finish a complete task of speech recognition.
