22. A speech analyzer according to claim 21 wherein said dynamic time warping means further comprises: means operative at each successive level responsive to said reference word time registration speech pattern endframe and correspondence signal for selecting for each speech pattern endframe signal the time registration path having the minimum correspondence signal to said enframe; and means for storing, for each speech pattern endframe signal, a signal identifying the reference word for said minimum correspondence signal time registration path, the minimum correspondence signal, and a signal representative of the starting frame of the minimum correspondence time registration path.
