title: Recognition of a sound (a word) with machine learning in python
body: <p>I'm preparing an experiment, and I want to write a program using python to recognize certain word spoken by the participants.</p>
  
  <p>I searched a lot about speech recognition in python but the results are complicated.(e.g. CMUSphinx).</p>
  
  <p>What I want to achieve is a program, that receive a sound file (contains only one word, not English), and I tell the program what the sound means and what output I want to see. </p>
  
  <p>I have seen the sklearn <a href="http://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/classification/plot_digits_classification.html" rel="nofollow">example</a> about recognizing hand-written digits. I want to know if I can do something like the example:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>training the program to return certain output (e.g. numbers) according to sound files from different people saying same word;</li>
  <li>when take in new sound files from other person saying same word, return same values.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Can I do this with python and sklearn?
  If so, where should I start?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
