Designing a natural voice interface rely mostly on Speech recognition for interaction between human and their modern digital life equipment. In addition, speech recognition narrows the gap between monolingual individuals to better exchange communication. However, the field lacks wide support for several universal languages and their dialects, while most of the daily conversations are carried out using them. This paper comes to inspect the viability of designing an Automatic Speech Recognition model for the Sudanese dialect, which is one of the Arabic Language dialects, and its complexity is a product of historical and social conditions unique to its speakers. This condition is reflected in both the form and content of the dialect, so this paper gives an overview of the Sudanese dialect and the tasks of collecting represented resources and pre-processing performed to construct a modest dataset to overcome the lack of annotated data. Also proposed end- to-end speech recognition model, the design of the model was formed using Convolution Neural Networks. The Sudanese dialect dataset would be a stepping stone to enable future Natural Language Processing research targeting the dialect. The designed model provided some insights into the current recognition task and reached an average Label Error Rate of 73.67%. |
