The most popular schemes used for speech recognition currently are Hidden Markov models (HMM). In addition for a simple task like isolated word, small vocabulary speech maybe Dynamic time warping (DTW) can also be used. However the accuracy of DTW will be much lesser than HMM. A good reference book is Fundamentals of speech recognition by Rabiner and Juang or the paper by Rabiner L. Rabiner. A tutorial on Hidden Markov Models and selected applications in speech recognition.
