Word recognition using synthesized templates

• With the ultimate aim of creating a knowledge based speech understanding system, we have set up a conceptual framework named NEBULA. In this paper we briefly describe some of the components of this framework and also report on some experiments where we use a production component for generating reference data for the recognition. The production component in the form of a speech synthesis system will ideally make the collection of training data unnecessary. Preliminary results of an isolated word recognition experiment will be presented and discussed. Several methods of interfacing the production component to the recognition/evaluation component have been pursued.
