Abstract
In this paper we describe our efforts to build a Mandarin Chinese voice search
system. We describe our strategies for data collection, language, lexicon and
acoustic modeling, as well as issues related to text normalization that are an
integral part of building voice search systems. We show excellent performance on
typical spoken search queries under a variety of accents and acoustic conditions.
The system has been in operation since October 2009 and has received very positive
user reviews.
