Abstract: Accurate segmentation of the I/F（Initial and Final） is a very important step in Chinese continuous speech recognition based on I/F.Current I/F segmentation methods achieve high degree of accuracy in non-continuous speech，but fall in continuous speech.In this paper，a new method based on entropy and the formant energy of Chinese vowels is proposed and overlapped segmenting scheme is introduced，which can accurately segment the I/F.The results of experiments show that this method achieve high rate of success even in low SNR.

Key words: continuous speech recognition, entropy, formant
