Speech recognizers nowadays play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. In order to reduce the complexity of natural language in a speech recognition process and to achieve significantly better results, a problem-specified grammar is used. Also the speech recognizer ESMERALDA which was designed at the University of Bielefeld makes use of this technique.
In this Bachelor thesis an Eclipse-Plugin has been developed which aims to simplify the creation and maintenance of a grammar. A subsequent study showed that the use of the developed plugin simplifies the use of grammar in many terms.
