Development of Malayalam speech recognition system is in its infancy stage; although many works have
been done in other Indian languages. In this paper we present the first work on speaker independent
Malayalam isolated speech recognizer based on PLP (Perceptual Linear Predictive) Cepstral Coefficient
and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The performance of the developed system has been evaluated with
different number of states of HMM (Hidden Markov Model). The system is trained with 21 male and
female speakers in the age group ranging from 19 to 41 years. The system obtained an accuracy of 99.5%
with the unseen data
