Technologies for automatic speech recognition using articulatory parameters are disclosed. An automatic speech recognition device may capture speech data from a speaker and also capture an image of the speaker. The automatic speech recognition device may determine one or more articulatory parameters based on the image, such as such as a jaw angle, a lip protrusion, or a lip height, and compare those parameters with articulatory parameters of training users. After selecting training users with similar articulatory parameters as the training speaker, the automatic speech recognition device may select training data associated with the selected training speakers, including parameters to use for an automatic speech recognition algorithm. By using the parameters already optimized for training users with similar articulatory parameters as the speaker, the automatic speech recognition device may quickly adapt an automatic speech recognition algorithm to the speaker.
