Several approaches for hybrid speech recognition were evaluated. These approaches use trained acoustic models of several foreign languages (English, German, Dutch, Spanish). These acoustic models are adapted to recognize Lithuanian voice commands (using Sphynx toolkit). Each of the adapted foreign language recognizers produces own hypothesis when recognizing Lithuanian voice command.
