GPC method in segment of Chinese continuous sentence

A new method for recognizing the start and the end of each word in a Chinese continuous sentence is discussed. We define a new recognition characteristic called periodic gradual change (PGC). A continuous speech sentence can be separated into many single words by a combination of the new method of PGC and other characteristics such as zero crossing rate (ZCR), instantaneous swing (E characteristic) and linear predictive coding (LPC) parameter. The recognition rate is improved for continuous speech segmentation by the new method.
