Recent Progress in Development of Language Model for Slovak Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition

Speech technologies have a potentiality to simplify the human-machine interaction as well as the communication between people. The use of speech technology applications has nowadays continuously growing trend. Each speech recognition system, which stands in the heart of every speech application, besides an algorithmic complexity, is strongly language dependent. Therefore, one of the challenging tasks by the development of the Slovak large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system is a creation of an efficient language model (LM).
