| Summary: | A number of intricate deep learning architectures for effective End-to-End (E2E) speech recognition systems have emerged due to recent advancements in algorithms and technical resources. The proposed work develops an ASR system for the publicly accessible dataset on Gujarati language. The approach provided in this research combines features like Mel frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Constant Q Cepstral Coefficients (CQCC) at front-end feature extraction methodologies. Enhanced spell corrector with BERT-based algorithm and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) based DeepSpeech2 architecture are used to implement the back end portion of the proposed ASR system. The proposed study shown that combining the MFCC features and CQCC features extracted from speech with the GRU-based DeepSpeech2 model and the upgraded or enhanced spell corrector improves the Word Error Rate (WER) by 17.46% when compared to the model without post processing. |
