Systems and Methods for Tuning Automatic Speech Recognition Systems

A method of tuning a speech recognition system, the method comprising the steps of:

• transmitting an associated user response to a speech recognition system, wherein the associated user response is based at least in part on a test stimulus;
• receiving a recognized response from a speech recognition system, wherein the recognized response is based at least in part on the associated user response;
• and
• adjusting at least one parameter of a speech recognition system based at least in part on at least one of the test stimulus, the associated user response, and the recognized response.

An article of manufacture having computer-readable program portions embedded thereon for tuning a speech recognition system, the program portions comprising:

• instructions for transmitting an associated user response to a speech recognition system, wherein the associated user response is based at least in part on a test stimulus;
• instructions for receiving a recognized response from a speech recognition system, wherein the recognized response is based at least in part on the associated user response;
• and
• instructions for adjusting at least one parameter of a speech recognition system based at least in part on at least one of the test stimulus, the associated user response, and the recognized response.
