Abstract :
A template-based isolated word-recognition system, with adaptation of templates by weighted averaging with recognised input utterances, is described. Experiments with adaptation of speaker-specific and speaker-independent templates are reported. The results show substantial improvements in the recognition accuracies attained, and reveal the importance of applying a compensation technique which adjusts the word distances obtained according to the amounts of adaptation applied. Aspects of interaction between the system and the user are discussed.<>
