7/25/2008 9:01 AM “Word Recognition” By Wilton Brown, Jeffery Gowdy, Adriana Riggs, Sage Schissel, Emily Trigg Word Recognition is used by many companies and services for automated calling; however, it is an inexact science that contains many problems. To better understand this system and its problems, we created a model that used Haar wavelet decomposition to retrieve the details of different sound recordings of words. We then used our model and intial, known data to identify the data of an unknown word and studied the results. 7/25/2008 9:01 AM 7/25/2008 9:01 AM
