With the development of continuous speech recognition technology, users have put forward higher requirements in terms of speech recognition accuracy. Low-resource speech recognition, as a typical speech recognition technology under restricted conditions, has become a research hotspot nowadays because of its low recognition rate and great application value. Under the premise of low-resource speech recognition technology, this paper reviews the research status of feature extraction and acoustic models, and conducts research on resource expansion. Especially in terms of the technical challenges faced by this technology, solutions are proposed, and future research directions are prospected.
