Abstract
A method for recognizing speech including a sequence of words determines a shape of a gesture and a location of the gesture with respect to a display device showing a set of interpretations of the speech. The method determines a type of the word sequence constraint based on the shape of the gesture and determines a value of the word sequence constraint based on the location of the gesture. Next, the speech is recognized using the word sequence constraint.
Claims20
A method for recognizing speech including a sequence of words, comprising:
- determining a shape of a gesture and a location of the gesture with respect to a display device showing a set of interpretations of the speech;
- determining a type of the word sequence constraint based on the shape of the gesture and a mapping between a set of shapes of gestures and a set of types of word sequence constraint;
- determining a value of the word sequence constraint based on the location of the gesture;
- and
- recognizing the speech using the word sequence constraint, wherein steps of to the method are performed by a processor.
A system for recognizing speech including a sequence of words, comprising:
- a display device for displaying a set of interpretations of the speech, and for receiving, in response to the displaying, a gesture with respect to the display device;
- and
- at least one processor for determining a type and a value of a word sequence constraint based on a shape of the gesture and a location of the gesture relative to locations of elements from the set of interpretations on the display device and for recognizing the speech using the word sequence constraint.
