Abstract
The main idea of this paper is to bring out the uniqueness of the speech corpus required for development of command and control applications such as voice-controlled MAV. Since MAV finds application in adverse environments, the effect of noise degrades ASR performance. Since English words uttered are greatly influenced by user’s mother tongue, there is a necessity to create a customized speech corpus. The corpus creation is accomplished by a NALVoiceCorpus tool, which is designed to capture the specific requirements of the corpus. The tool is quite generic in nature and it can find application in development of any ASR system.
