Thorough.
Highly relevant to the class.
Reasonably difficult, considering a survey paper.
Thorough evidence (typical for a survey paper).
I think it would be clearer with a hierarchical breakdown and a table of contents. The sections could also be smaller.
Very loose formatting. Most of it is a wall of text. Paragraph separation is vital!
Length looks good.
"This paper will then argue..." It's not the paper arguing, it's you! How about the academic 'we'? "We are that..."
"worthwhile" is one word.
"brings us closer" is used twice in this paragraph, maybe alternative wording in one place?
Looks like you need a : after "following" in "A device running speech recognition requires the following..."
I'm not sure a definition of a CPU is really necessary here. Really all that needs to be said is that you are talking about computer speech recognition here. The involvement of a CPU etc. will be assumed by the audience.
You sometimes use single quotes and sometimes double quotes for 'n' words. Hardly a big deal, but I would pick one and stick with it.
This explanation is very hard to follow because it is so dense. Use newlines and paragraphs!
The last sentence is preceded by a single space instead of two.
Hidden Markov Model
"of a Markov chain, or Markov chain..." I'm guessing there were supposed to be two different phrases here?
"After the the study concluded..." duplicated 'the'
At this point the paper seems to transition from two spaces after a fullstop to one. Guessing a change between authors?
