Abstract
Recognizing a user's speech is a computationally demanding task. If a user calls a destination server, little may be known about the user or the user's speech profile. The user's source system (device and/or server) may have an extensive profile of the user. As provided herein, a source device may provide translated text and/or speech attributes to a destination server. As a benefit, the recognition algorithm may be well tuned to the user and provide the recognized content to the destination. Additionally, the destination may provide domain attributes to allow the source recognition engine to better recognize the spoken content.
Claims6
A destination server, comprising:
- a network interface to a communications network;
- a microprocessor having access to the network interface;
- and
- the microprocessor that, via the network interface, engages in a call with a source server, the call comprising a voice channel comprising a spoken portion provided by a source user and a data channel comprising a machine-readable cue of the spoken portion and wherein the machine-readable cue comprises a speech attribute of the source user;
- wherein the microprocessor executes a speech recognition algorithm to recognize the spoken portion and wherein the speech recognition algorithm is seeded with the machine-readable cue;
- and
- wherein the microprocessor executes instructions in accordance with the microprocessor recognized spoken portion on the voice channel and the machine-readable cue received on the data channel.
