Abstract: Understanding human speech precisely by a machine has been a major challenge for many years.With Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) being decades old and considering the advancement of the technology, where it is not at the point where machines understand all speech, it is used on a regular basis in many applications and services. Hence, to advance research it is important to identify significant research directions, specifically to those that have not been pursued or funded in the past. The performance of such ASR systems, traditionally build upon an Hidden Markov Model (HMM), has improved due tothe application of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Despite this progress, building an ASR system remained a challenging task requiring multiple resources and training stages. The idea of using DNNs for Automatic Speech Recognition has gone further from being a single component in a pipeline to building a system mainly based on such a network.This paper provides a literature survey on state of the art researches on two major models, namely Deep Neural Network - Hidden Markov Model (DNN-HMM) and Recurrent Neural Networks trained with Connectionist Temporal Classification (RNN-CTC). It also provides the differences between these two models at the architectural level.
