A series of experiments were performed to determine (1) the effects of using an energy-based endpoint detector and a conventional isolated word recognition system when the input speech is noisy and (2) the effects of placing a noise suppression prefilter in tandem with the word recognizer in an attempt to remove the noise prior to recognition. It was found that the system consisting of the prefilter working in tandem with the word recognizer increased word recognition accuracy.
