Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a speaker-independent continuous automatic Amazigh speech recognition system. The designed system is based on the Carnegie Mellon University Sphinx tools. In the training and testing phase an in house Amazigh_Alphadigits corpus was used. This corpus was collected in the framework of this work and consists of speech and their transcription of 60 Berber Moroccan speakers (30 males and 30 females) native of Tarifit Berber. The system obtained best performance of 92.89 % when trained using 16 Gaussian Mixture models.
