Summary

We dove right into this deep-learning project in Python, creating and training an ASR model that understands speech data. We learned to feature engineer the speech data to extract various kinds of features from it and then build a speech recognition system that could detect a user's voice.

We're happy to have achieved our stated goal!

In this chapter, we built a system that recognizes English speech, using the DS2 model.

You learned following:

To work with speech and spectrograms
To build an end-to-end speech recognition system
The CTC loss function
Batch normalization and SortaGrad for RNNs

This caps off a major section of the deep-learning projects in this Python book that explores chatbots, NLP, and speech recognition with RNNs (uni and bi-directional, with and without LSTM components), and CNNs. We've seen the power of these technologies to provide...
