Malay word pronunciation application for pre-school children using vowel recognition
In Malaysia, many researchers focus on developing independent speaker speech recognition systems that use Malay Language or Bahasa Malaysia. Accuracy, noise robustness and processing time are concerns when developing speech therapy systems especially for children. In this study, a Malay word pronunc...
