Framework for Hausa Speech Recognition

Abstract

The idea of this paper is to present a framework for the development of the Hausa Speech recognition system. The framework comprises the creation of a dataset, and the development of acoustic, language, and speech models. The goal is to enhance speech recognition research for under-resourced languages such as the Hausa language. The paper presented work achieved so far by the researchers are creating and developing the Hausa dataset, acoustic model, language model and speech respectively. The dataset and models can be put together for the development of speech to text, text to speech, dictation application and speech to speech translator
