    Abstract: A fast vocabulary independent method for spotting words in speech utilizes a preprocessing step and a coarse-to-detailed search strategy for spotting a word/phone sequence in speech. The preprocessing includes a Viterbi-beam phone level decoding 14 using a tree-based phone language model. The coarse search 20 matches phone-ngrams to identify regions of speech as putative word hits, and the detailed search 22 performs an acoustic match at the putative hits with a model of the given word included in the vocabulary of the recognizer.
