I hope you have read the book "Rabiner and Juang" Fundamentals of
Speech recognition. Try the book by "Bechetti and Ricotti". Explanation
in the latter is bad whereas in the former is good. The latter book
gives you implemetation details. Enjoy.

Thanks a lot for the help Sai you have provided . Yes Fundamentals of
Speech recognition is with me  but the other books is not available
can you provide the title and publisher (and if possible the price of
book). ALso any help regarding new techniques for Speaker Recognition
will be appreciated
The publisher is wiley,
The link for amazon :
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471977306/qid=1109391167/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-6411913-6045752?v=glance&s=books
The link for the india web firstandsecond.com :

The information in the india website is wrong. There is a cheap indian
edition for Rs. 450 available. Check with your book dealer. Search with
the John Wiley Catalog. This book discusses a particular design of a
speech recognition system. Other good books are from Pearson, check the
back of the front cover of Rabiner and Juang's  book for the details of
those books. The are by Jurafsky and Marting

Hi Amit

extent. i am also stuck with this mfcc calculation . i searched internet

implementation details then plese tell me.

Hi Jeetu 
       Some really nice people have helped me out though the results
are still being checked out but you may better check up with
Quateiri's Book its quiet good . Another option you might opt for is
use voicebox its freely available on net a matlab code for calculating
mfcc is given in it
Bye for now
