Is it possible to write a speech-recognition engin

Question

Using some existing math libraries, though. The point is, that there is literally no research in this field in my language (Georgian). Is that possible? How long would I take? I know that this also depends on the skills, but still?

Is it possible to write a speech-recognition engine from scratch?

You do not need to write engine from scratch, there are many engines already available, you can just pick one like CMUSphinx

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net

If you just interested in supporting Georgian, it's just a task to train Georgian model, you do not need to implement engine itself. Speech recognition engines do not depend on langauge.

The point is, that there is literally no research in this field in my language (Georgian).

Luckily there is a lot in English.

How long would I take?

It takes about a month of single man work to create a database for a new language for CMUSphinx. For more details see the documentation:
