EN The article presents studies on the automatic whispery speech recognition. In the performed research a new corpus with whispery speech has been used. It has been checked whether the extended set of articulatory units (allophones have been used instead of phonemes) improves quality of whispery speech recognition. Experimental results show that the small changes in the allophone set may provide better speech recognition quality than using phonemes approach. The authors also made available the trained g2p (grapheme-to-phoneme) model of Polish language for the Sequitur toolkit.
