Method and Apparatus for Training a Voice Recognition Model Database

A method comprising:

• receiving an utterance via one or more microphones of an electronic device;
• during the receiving step, reproducing a previously-recorded noise sample through a speaker of the electronic device,
• wherein the reproduction is audible to the one or more microphones of the electronic device;
• and
• training a voice recognition model database based on the acoustically combined noise sample and utterance.

A method comprising:

• recording an utterance during a speech to text command mode;
• determining whether the recorded utterance is identified as a speech to text command;
• if the recorded utterance is determined to be a speech to text command, performing a function based on the speech to text command;
• determining whether performed function is a valid operation;
• and
• if the speech to text command resulted in a valid operation, training a voice recognition model database based on the recorded utterance and the speech to text command.

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• a computing processor that is electronically coupled to the memory, wherein the computing processor:
• records an utterance during a speech to text command mode;
• determines whether the recorded utterance is identified as a speech to text command;
• if the recorded utterance is determined to be a speech to text command, performs a function based on the speech to text command;
• determines whether the function performed is a valid operation;
• and
• if the function performed is determined to be a valid operation, trains a voice recognition model database based on the recorded utterance and the speech to text command.
