Distributed automatic speech recognition with persistent user parameters

Abstract

A method for distributed automatic speech recognition enables a user to request an audio web page from a speech server by using a browser of a speech client connected to the speech server via a communications network. A determination is then made whether persistent user parameters are stored for the user in a parameter file on the speech client accessible by the speech server. If false, the user parameters are generated in the speech client, and stored in the parameter file. If true, the user parameters are directly read from the parameter file by the speech server. In either case, the user parameters are set in a speech recognition engine of the speech server to perform an audio dialog between the speech client and the speech server.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
