Comparison of RNN-CTC, LSTM-CTC and GRU-CTC models and parameters on a new Turkish audiobook dataset

Speech is very important in human communication. Speech recognition systems work to convert sounds and text. Devices that use speech recognition systems make daily life easier. Although there are many studies on Turkish speech recognition systems, the lack of data sets is obvious. In this thesis, the original Turkish Audiobook Dataset was developed and neural network models were examined. An original data set obtained from audiobook recordings was prepared. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) models were examined and compared on the obtained data set.
