Abstract: This study proposes a hybrid model of speech recognition parallel algorithm based on hidden Markov model (HMM) and artificial neural network (ANN). First, the algorithm uses HMM for time-series modeling of speech signals and calculates the voice to the HMM of the output probability score. Second, with the probability score as input to the neural network, the algorithm gets information for classification and recognition and makes a decision based on the hybrid model. Finally, Matlab software is used to train and test sample data. Simulation results show that using the strong time-series modeling ability of HMM and the classification features of neural network, the proposed algorithm possesses stronger noise immunity than the traditional HMM. Moreover, the hybrid model enhances the individual flaws of the HMM and the neural network and greatly improves the speed and performance of speech recognition.
