Using some existing math libraries, though. The point is, that there is literally no research in this field in my language (Georgian). Is that possible? How long would I take? I know that this also depends on the skills, but still?

Speech to text conversion for non-english language

Is it possible to write a speech-recognition engine from scratch?

You do not need to write engine from scratch, there are many engines already available, you can just pick one like CMUSphinx

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net

If you just interested in supporting Georgian, it's just a task to train Georgian model, you do not need to implement engine itself. Speech recognition engines do not depend on langauge.

The point is, that there is literally no research in this field in my language (Georgian).

Luckily there is a lot in English.

How long would I take?

It takes about a month of single man work to create a database for a new language for CMUSphinx. For more details see the documentation:

  • Well... I down voted this originally because I did not like how you side skirted the original question by saying "just use one already made". However it appears that you answered a very similar question in a much better manner (http://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/37860/build-automatic-speech-recognition-asr-from-scratch). Thank you for feeding my Amazon book buying addiction. – Brennen Sprimont Oct 23 '16 at 04:51
