As the most important human-machine interfacing tool, an insignificant amount of work has been carried out on Bangla Speech Recognition compared to the English language. Motivated by this, in this work, the performance of speaker-independent isolated speech recognition systems has been implemented and analyzed using a dataset that is created containing both isolated Bangla and English spoken words. An approach using the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) and Deep Feed-Forward Fully Connected Neural Network (DFFNN) of 7 layers as a classifier is proposed in this work to recognize isolated spoken words. This work shows 93.42% recognition accuracy which is better compared to most of the works done previously on Bangla speech recognition considering the number of classes and dataset size.
