Nowadays, many applications uses speech recognition especially the field of computer science and electronics, Speech Recognition (SR) is the interpretation of words spoken into a text. It is also known as Speech-To-Text (STT) or Automatic-Speech-Recognition(ASR), or just Word-Recognition(WR). The HiddenMarkov-Model (HMM) is a type of Markov model, which means that the future state of the model depends on the current state, not on the entire history of the system and the goal of HMM is to learn a sequence of hidden states from a set of known states.
