I found a really interesting website : http://www.eecg.utoronto.ca/~aamodt/ece341/speech-recognition/ The algorithm seems simple enough and i think i will try to adapt it somehow. The problem is that there are a lot of things i cannot understand in the math posted there. Like how to generate the coefficients for Cebysev without Matlab since i don't own software like that Is there someone on this list who played with bandpass filters ?
