Abstract(in English) In this paper, we described the investigation of methods to improve the performance of ASR used for extending lecture information into semantic contents. First, we investigate the effects of difference among microphones, acoustic models and decorders. It turned out that using pin-microphone decrease up to 23% compared to handheld-microphone in accuracy. There is significant impact by the difference between handheld-microphone and pin-microphone to performance. To improve the performance even when using a cheap equipment like this, we tried to apply some cepstrum normalization methods, like CMN, CVN and HEQ to lecture speech data, in which we considered about unit of the normalization process.
