A dynamically generated small grammar is used for text editing using voice commands in a hand-held electronic device where memory requirements do not allow a large grammar to be used. However, the text is dictated using a large grammar, which can reside in the electronic device or in a remote site. When an editing session begins, words in the dictated text are added to the small grammar. As such, words to be deleted or replaced can be located, for example. When a voice command calls for a text-modifying word, the text-modifying word is obtained from the small grammar if possible. Otherwise it is obtained from the large grammar. During the editing session, as more text-modifying words are used to modify the text, these words are also added to the small grammar. At the end of the editing session, the dynamically generated part of the small grammar is removed.
A method of modifying text (140) in a hand-held electronic device (10) in an editing session, the text including a plurality of third words, wherein the hand-held electronic device comprises:
A hand-held electronic device (10) having a communication link linking to a network component of a communication network, the network component comprising a first grammar having plurality of first words, said electronic device comprising:
A software product comprising a computer readable medium for use in a hand-held electronic device, the computer readable medium having embedded therein pseudo-codes for use in modifying text in an editing session, the text including a plurality of third words, wherein at least a part of the text is dictated using the first grammar located in a network component having a communication link linking to the hand-held device, the first grammar including a plurality of first words, and wherein the hand-held electronic device comprises a memory module for storing a second grammar having a plurality of second words for text editing purposes, the second grammar smaller than the first grammar, wherein the second grammar includes a plurality of voice recognizable commands, and at least one of the voice recognizable commands can be activated in order to modify the text such that the activated voice recognizable command specifies a text-modifying word for modifying the text, said pseudo codes adapted to carry out the steps of:
