Abstract
The method of speaker normalization has been known as the successful method for improving the speech recognition at speaker independent speech recognition system. This paper propose a new power spectrum warping approach to making improvement of speaker normalization better than a frequency warping. The power spectrum warping uses Mel-frequency cepstral of Mel filter bank in MFCC. Also, this paper proposes the hybrid VTN combined the power spectrum warping and a frequency warping. Experiment of this paper did a comparative analysis about the recognition performance of the SKKU PBW DB applied each the power spectrum is 3.06%, and hybrid VTN is 4.07% word error rate reduction as word recognition performance of baseline system.
