US 6,456,974 B1 · System and method for adding speech recognition capabilities to java

Abstract

In a system (10) for adding speech recognition capabilities to Java, there is provided a speech recognition server (18) coupled to a Java application (24) through an application program interface (20). The Java application (24) dynamically specifies a grammar (56) to the application program interface (20), which communicates the grammar (56) to the speech recognition server (18). The speech recognition server (18) receives the grammar (56) and a speech input (66). Upon receiving the speech input (66), the speech recognition server (18) performs speech recognition and generates a result (58) based on the grammar (56). The application program interface (20) communicates the result (58) to the Java application (24), which performs an action based on the result (58) received.

Dependent claims

A system for facilitating a speech interface to Java comprising:

a speech recognition server operable to receive a grammar and a speech input, the speech recognition server further operable to perform speech recognition in response to the speech input and to generate a result based on the grammar;
at least one Java application operable to dynamically specify the grammar, to receive the result and to perform an action based on the result;
and
an application program interface operable to receive the grammar, to communicate the grammar to the speech recognition server and, in response to the speech recognition, to receive the result from the speech recognition server and to communicate the result to the Java application.
