A Comprehensive Study of the Current State-of-the-Art in Nepali Automatic Speech Recognition Systems
It addresses the lack of attention to Nepali ASR compared to well-resourced languages, offering guidance for researchers in this domain-specific area.
This paper surveys existing research on Nepali Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, reviewing datasets, technologies, and challenges, and provides a framework for future work.
In this paper, we examine the research conducted in the field of Nepali Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The primary objective of this survey is to conduct a comprehensive review of the works on Nepali Automatic Speech Recognition Systems completed to date, explore the different datasets used, examine the technology utilized, and take account of the obstacles encountered in implementing the Nepali ASR system. In tandem with the global trends of ever-increasing research on speech recognition based research, the number of Nepalese ASR-related projects are also growing. Nevertheless, the investigation of language and acoustic models of the Nepali language has not received adequate attention compared to languages that possess ample resources. In this context, we provide a framework as well as directions for future investigations.
