Figure 5 Pictorial view of codebook with 15 Centroids respectively. In the experimental setup of DC motor drive through speech recognition, the speech signal is taken by microphone that is connected to computer. Software coding is to calculate the MFCC and VQ (LBG algorithm) MATLAB 7.5 version is used here in this paper, to recognize the input speech taken from micro phone. And for hardware part to make DC motor understands, microcontroller (8051) is used. For microcontroller coding Embedded C programming is used. The interfacing between computer and microcontroller is done by RS-232. For drive the DC motor the driver IC L293D is used. The Fig. 6 shows the basic speech recognition block diagram.
