Abstract
A method of speech recognition is described for use with mobile devices. A portion of an initial speech recognition result is presented on the mobile device including a set of general alternate recognition hypotheses associated with the portion of the speech recognition result. A key input representative of one or more associated letters is received from the user. The user is provided with a set of restricted alternate recognition hypotheses starting with the one or more letters associated with the key input. Then a user selection is accepted of one of the restricted alternate recognition hypotheses to represent a corrected speech recognition result.
Claims21
A method of speech recognition on a mobile device comprising:
- presenting with the mobile device for a speech input containing a plurality of spoken words, a recognized word display representing one or more most likely recognition hypotheses corresponding to a current one of the spoken words;
- performing a recognition verification process wherein recognition of each spoken word is veified by a user input action. the verification process including either:
- receiving from the user a key input verifying one of the displayed recognition hypotheses as correct, or
- receiving from the user:
- i. a first key input representative of one or more associated letters which limits the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display to a limited set of one or more recognition hypotheses starting with the one or more letters associated with the key input, and
- ii. accepting a second key input verifying one of the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display as a corrected speech recognition result;
- and
- repeating the recognition verification process for a next word in the speech input until all the spoken words have been processed.
A speech recognition user correction interface for a mobile device comprising:
- presenting means for presenting with the mobile device for a speech input containing a plurality of spoken words, a recognized word display representing one or more most likely recognition hypotheses corresponding to a current one of the spoken words;
- recognition verification process means for performing a recognition verification process wherein recognition of each spoken word is verified by a user input action, the verification process including either:
- receiving from the user a key input verifying one of the displayed recognition hypotheses as correct, or
- receiving from the user:
- i. a first key input representative of one or more associated letters which limits the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display to a limited set of one or more recognition hypotheses starting with the one or more letters associated with the key input, and
- ii. a second key input verifying one of the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display as a corrected speech recognition result;
- and
- repeating means for repeating the recognition verification process means for a next word in the speech input until all the spoken words have been processed.
A mobile user device comprising:
- a user verification interface including:
- presenting means for presenting with the mobile device for a speech input containing a plurality of spoken words, a word display representing one or more most likely recognition hypotheses corresponding to a current one of the spoken words;
- recognition verification process means for performing a recognition verification process wherein recognition of each spoken word is verified by a user input action. the verification process including either:
- receiving from the user a key input verifying one of the displayed recognition hypotheses as correct, or
- receiving from the user:
- a first key input representative of one or more associated letters which limits the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display to a limited set of one or more recognition hypotheses starting with the one or more letters associated with the key input;
- ii. a second key input verifying one of the recognition hypotheses presented in the recognized word display as a corrected speech recognition result;
- and
- repeating means for repeating the recognition verification process means for a next word in the speech input until all the spoken words have been processed.
