Abstract
Most ANN techniques do not address the problem of the varying duration of speech utterances, and of the timing of speech events within utterances. This is because the networks employed generally require fixed dimensional input. An example of fixed dimensional input is given in [1], where the recognition of whole words is achieved by capturing the word and linearly adjusting its duration to fit the ANN’s input window, as illustrated in Fig. 1.
