Abstract: Abstract: Kannada is the regional language of India spoken in Karnataka. This paper presents development of continuous kannada speech recognition system using monophone modelling and triphone modelling using HTK. Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) is used as feature extractor, exploits cepstral and perceptual frequency scale leads good recognition accuracy. Hidden Markov Model is used as classifier. In this paper Gaussian mixture splitting is done that captures the variations of the phones. The paper presents performance of continuous Kannada Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system with respect to 2, 4,8,16 and 32 Gaussian mixtures with monophone and context dependent tri-phone modelling. The experimental result shows that good recognition accuracy is achieved for context dependent tri-phone modelling than monophone modelling as the number Gaussian mixture is increased.
