This paper describes the use of two forms of error propagation net trained
to ascribe phoneme labels to successive frames of speech from multiple
speakers.  The first form places a fixed length window over the speech and
labels the central portion of the window.  The second form uses a dynamic
structure in which the successive frames of speech and state vector
containing context information are used to generate the output label.  The
paper concludes that the dynamic structure gives a higher recognition rate
both in comparison with the fixed context structure and with the
established k nearest neighbour technique.
