Development of Malay word pronunciation application using vowel recognition

In Malaysia, many researchers focus on developing speaker independent systems for training or articulation therapy or to assist language learners to learn about Malay Language or Bahasa Malaysia.Accuracy, noise robustness and processing time are concerns when developing speech therapy systems.In thi...
