This paper presents a real-time speech recognition system used to transcribe broadcast radio speech. The system is based on ABBOT the hybrid connectionist-HMM large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system developed at the Cambridge University Engineering Department. Developments designed to make the system more robust to acoustic variability and to improve performance when decoding spontaneous speech are described. Modifications necessary to increase the speed of the system so that it operates in real-time are also described. Recognition results and latency figures are presented for speech collected from broadcast news segments on BBC Radio 4.

If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz', which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find tools to uncompress them at the gzip web site.

If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending '.ps' or '.ps.gz'), then you may be able to find tools to view them at the gsview web site.

We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
