System and method for voice recognition

A portable voice recognition apparatus for generating an output signal based on spoken user input comprising:

• an acoustic-electric transducer configured to receive monosyllabic audio input and output an electrical audio input signal;
• an analog to digital converter operably connected to the acoustic-electric transducer configured to take the electrical audio input signal and output a discrete electrical audio input signal;
• memory including:
• a plurality of stored audio patterns generated by the user, each audio pattern including a single monosyllabic representation of a command, number, letter or word having two or more syllables in a custom language wherein at least one audio pattern represents both an opening command and a closing command;
• and
• a plurality of digital tokens each associated with at least one stored audio pattern;
• at least one processor operably connected to the at least one memory wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive the electrical audio input signal;
• determine the stored audio pattern associated with the electrical audio input signal;
• determine the digital token associated with the selected one of the plurality of stored audio patterns;
• and
• generate an output signal configured to communicate the command, number, letter or word based on the determined digital token;
• at least one output control circuit;
• and
• at least one output port operably connected to the at least one output control circuit.

A portable voice recognition apparatus for generating an output signal based on spoken user input comprising:

• memory including custom language entries made up of custom language elements wherein each element includes a single monosyllabic representation of a command, number, letter or word having two or more syllables wherein at least one custom language element represents both an opening command and a closing command;
• at least one of an audio port and visual display means to communicate to a user the entire set of custom language elements stored in memory;
• an acoustic-electric transducer to convert each uttered monosyllabic audio specimen received from the user into a continuous electrical signal;
• an analog to digital converter to convert each continuous electrical signal into a discrete electrical signal;
• a processor for conditioning each discrete electrical signal;
• and
• a look up table, stored in the memory, for storing each conditioned discrete electrical signal as a stored audio pattern.
