Abstract
A speech recognition system provides a tactile indication to a user that the system is in a recognizer ready state. The tactile indication can be movement of a push to talk (PTT) button from a first position to a second position. The tactile indication can alternatively be movement of a tactile indicator from a first position to a second position. The tactile indication can also be a vibration. A method of performing speech recognition and a machine readable storage are also disclosed.
Claims23
A speech recognition system comprising a tactile recognizer ready indicator for indicating a recognizer ready state.
A method of performing speech recognition in a speech recognition system, comprising the steps of:
- activating a speech recognition system upon reception of a signal indicating that speech dictation is desired, said activation transferring said speech recognition system from the normal state to a recognizer working state;
- loading said speech recognition system from the recognizer working state to a recognizer ready state;
- providing a tactile indication to said user that said speech recognition system is in said recognizer ready state;
- and,
- performing speech recognition.
A machine readable storage, having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform the steps of:
- receiving a signal indicating a user's desire for speech recognition;
- processing said signal to cause a speech recognition system to move from a normal state to a recognizer working state, and from said recognizer working state to a recognizer ready state;
- upon said speech recognition system attaining said recognizer ready state, sending a signal to tactile indicator structure adapted to indicate to said user that said speech recognition system is in said recognizer ready state;
- and,
- performing speech recognition.
A two-way radio system comprising a tactile radio ready indicator for indicating a radio ready state.
