This paper proposes the novel technique for separation of Thai
consonant naming or consonant spelling using its tones.
Consonant spelling is used for many applications such as a
voice-actuated typewriter that helping to correct the confusable
word in [...] sound. Because fundamental
frequency (F0) can be suitably used in tone classification for
Thai speech recognition, which is tonal language of five patterns:
mid, low, falling and rising. Consequently, classification of Thai
consonant naming algorithm used F0 for distinguishing rising
tone from mid tone. From the experiment result, we found that
not only the level of F0 indicates tonality of sound but also
considering flattening, rising, oscillation and continuity of F0
that are necessary for Thai tonal language. This paper shows
performance of algorithm that classifies 996 sounds and
yielding 1.72% error-rate.
