TL;DR
Two decision algorithmic methods using weighted-distance functions and property sets are developed and implemented with the optimum size of the training set on a large number of Telugu speech sounds with a recognition score of 82 percent for vowels and 97 percent for the speaker.
Abstract
Some applications based on the theory of fuzzy sets in problems of computer recognition of vowels and identifying the person from his spoken words using only the first three formants (F 1, F2, and F3) of the unknown utterance are presented. Two decision algorithmic methods using weighted-distance functions and property sets are developed and implemented with the optimum size of the training set on a large number of Telugu (an important Indian language) speech sounds with a recognition score of 82 percent for vowels and 97 percent for the speaker.

By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.
