In Hidden Markov models, speech features are modeled by Gaussian distributions. In this paper, we propose to gaussianize the features to better fit to this modeling. A distribution of the data is estimated and a transform function is derived. We have tested two methods of the transform estimation (global and speaker based). The results are reported on recognition of isolated Czech words (SpeechDat-E) with CI and CD models and on medium vocabulary continuous speech recognition task (SPINE). Gaussianized data provided in all three cases results superior to standard MFC coefficients proving, that the gaussianization is a cheap way to increase the recognition accuracy.
