The invention relates to a method and a device for the natural-language recognition of a vocal expression. A vocal expression of a person is detected and converted into a voice signal to be processed by a voice recognition device. Afterwards, the voice signal is analyzed at the same time or sequentially in a plurality of voice recognition branches of the voice recognition device using a plurality of grammars, wherein the recognition process is successfully completed if the analysis of the voice signal in at least one voice recognition branch supplies a positive recognition result.

Method and device for the natural-language recognition of a vocal expression

A method for providing multilingual speech output in an automated spoken dialog system includes setting up a connection between a telecommunications terminal device and the spoken dialog system. In response to a connection setup, a multilingual speech output is provided that includes an output of a first speech sequence in a first language and at least one second speech sequence in at least one second language different from the first language. The first speech sequence and the at least one second speech sequence are output, at least in part, simultaneously.
