A method is disclosed for preparing information presented in a tabular form for a speech dialogue system so that the information of the table can be consulted in a user dialogue in a targeted manner.

Method for preparing information for a speech dialogue system

In a three-stage speech recognition process, a phoneme sequence is first assigned to a speech unit, then those vocabulary entries which are most similar to the phoneme sequence are sought in a selection vocabulary, and finally the speech unit is recognized using a speech unit recognizer which uses, as its vocabulary, the selected vocabulary entries which are most like the phoneme sequence.
