Sautrela: a highly modular open source speech recognition framework

This paper describes the Sautrela system (www.sautrela.org), a highly modular and pluggable open source framework for generic purpose signal processing, focused on speech recognition. The aim of Sautrela is to unify in a single framework almost all the tasks related to pattern recognition such as signal processing, model training and decoding. This framework has been developed using the Java/spl trade/ technology and thus ensures its portability to a large variety of computer platforms.
