Open Source Unix Shell Speech Recognition Software for Windows

Kaldi is an open source toolkit for speech recognition research. It provides a powerful framework for building state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, with support for deep neural networks, Gaussian mixture models, hidden Markov models, and other advanced techniques. The toolkit is widely used in both academia and industry due to its flexibility, extensibility, and strong community support. Kaldi is designed for researchers who need a highly customizable environment to experiment with new algorithms, as well as for practitioners who want robust, production-ready ASR pipelines. It includes extensive tools for data preparation, feature extraction, acoustic and language modeling, decoding, and evaluation. With its modular design, Kaldi allows users to adapt the system to a wide range of languages and domains. As one of the most influential projects in speech recognition, it has become a foundation for much of the modern work in ASR.

VoxForge collects user-submitted speech audio files for the creation of Acoustic Models for Free and Open Source Speech Recognition Engines such as HTK, Julius, ISIP and Sphinx.
