Segmentation of Speech into Syllable Units for Indonesian Language. Frame the given speech, calculate the energy rate of each frame, smooth the energy using fuzzy logic, and then define the boundaries of syllable segments.

Neural-Based Word-to-Syllable Decomposition for Spoken Indonesia Language. First, convert grapheme to phoneme so that a symbol states one phoneme. Then, split the phonemic symbol of word into syllable based on the syllable patterns trained to the neural network.

New design of Indonesian LVCSR Using Combined Phoneme and Syllable Models. Most recent large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) systems are based on context-dependent phonemes (usually tri- or quinta-phone) with a frame-based approach. This approach usually suffers from a lack of robustness againts background noise. This paper discusses a new design of Indonesian LVCSR based on critical study on some recent papers related to both phoneme-based and syllable-based speech recognition systems. The study concludes that Indonesian LVCSR is better to be designed using combined phoneme and syllable models, where a segment containing either consecutive consonants or consecutive vowels is processed using syllable model. Other segment is treated as phoneme using a frame-based approach. However, some problems related to the quite large number of syllables should be properly managed.

Automatic Speech Recognition-Based Information Center for Indonesian Language. This reserach focuses on implementation of CMU Sphinx-4 in an automatic speech recognition-based information center (ASRIC) for Indonesian language. The ASRIC designed to handle more than 20 thousands directory services as in the yellow pages in Bandung. It uses a vector space model (VSM) to improve the performance of statistical language model and to recognize the user utterance more flexibly. Testing to an Indonesian speaker shows that VSM is capable of reducing the query error rate, but the response time is quite low. The VSM also make ASRIC more flexible to recognize spoken sentences of users which misses some keywords, contains random ordered words, or consists of unimportant words.

IndoVMS: Indonesian Voice Messaging Service. This is an applied reserach to develop a mobile application called Yooi (an Indonesian slang word that means OK in English). Yooi enable you to dictate and send an SMS using your voice. It provides formal Indonesian language, slang, and three local languages: Javanese, Sundanese, Batak. Yooi is multi speaker so that can be used for teenagers or elderly people and different dialects. A paper for Yooi was presented in The 5th International Conference on Interaction Sciences: IT, Human and Digital Content (ICIS 2012), Jeju island, South Korea, on 26-28 June 2012.
