We present a novel approach to building a subword speech recognizer for the task of phonetic keyword search. The recognizer, which uses short fixed-length phonetic units, is trained with phonetic transcripts that are segmented into all possible substrings of 1, 2 and 3 phones, using a lattice representation to accommodate the overlapping units. We compare the keyword search accuracy of the prop...
