Read the book: Automatic Speech Recognition A Deep Learning Approach http://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-1-4471-5779-3. Also read another book http://www.amazon.com/Spoken-Language-Processing-Algorithm-D.... In parallel play with open source toolkits - cmusphinx, kaldi. Just run examples from tutorials to understand how things look in practice.
* Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Manning and Schuetze [0]
* Statistical Methods for Speech Recognition by Jelinek [1]
* Spoken Language Processing: A Guide to Theory, Algorithm, and System Development by Huang, Acero and Hon [2]
In particular, Statistical Methods for Speech Recognition is a book you could expect to see on the shelves of most people in the field.
