An interactive speech recognition system includes a database containing a plurality of reference terms, a list memory that receives the reference terms of category 'n,' a processing circuit that populates the list memory with the reference terms corresponding to the category 'n,' and a recognition circuit that processes the reference terms and terms of a spoken phrase. The recognition circuit determines if a reference term of category &#x201c;n&#x201d; matches a term of the spoken phrase.

Interactive speech recognition system

A voice control system allows a user to control a device through voice commands. The voice control system includes a speech recognition unit that receives a control signal from a mobile device and a speech signal from a user. The speech recognition unit configures speech recognition settings in response to the control signal to improve speech recognition.

Voice control system

A speech recognition system is provided for selecting, via a speech input, an item from a list of items. The speech recognition system detects a first speech input, recognizes the first speech input, compares the recognized first speech input with the list of items and generates a first candidate list of best matching items based on the comparison result. The system then informs the speaker of at least one of the best matching items of the first candidate list for a selection of an item by the speaker. If the intended item is not one of the best matching items presented to the speaker, the system then detects a second speech input, recognizes the second speech input, and generates a second candidate list of best matching items taking into account the comparison result obtained with the first speech input.

Speech recognition system

A system is provided for recognizing speech for searching a database. The system receives speech input as a spoken search request and then processes the speech input in a speech recognition step using a vocabulary for recognizing the spoken request. By processing the speech input words recognized in the speech input and included in the vocabulary are obtained to form at least one hypothesis. The hypothesis is then utilized to search a database using the at least one hypothesis as a search query. A search result is then received from the database and provided to the user.

System for recognizing speech for searching a database

A speech dialog system interfaces a user to a computer. The system includes a signal pre-processor that processes a speech input to generate an enhanced signal and an analysis signal. A speech recognition unit may generate a recognition result based on the enhanced signal. A control unit may manage an output unit or an external device based on the information within the analysis signal.

Speech dialog control based on signal pre-processing

A control system processes commands received from a user. The control system may control one or more devices within a vehicle. A switch allows the control system to choose one of multiple input channels. The method that receives the data selects a channel through a process that minimizes data losses. The switching occurs upon a user request, when the control system does not recognize an input, or when an interference masks a user request.

Multi-modal data input

A system is disclosed for controlling at least one electronic device. Each electronic device may have at least one control key. The system for controlling the electronic device may include a speech dialog system that controls the electronic device. The speech dialog system may be activated upon an operation of one or more control keys of the electronic device.
