Apparatus and method for automatically generating punctuation marks in continuous speech recognition

A Chinese speech recognition (SR) method and system for single or un-correlated Chinese character(s). The method uses various types of Character Description Language (CDL) to describe the single or un-correlated Chinese character(s) to be inputted. The SR system uses CDL grammar directed speech recognizer to accept CDLs, which are inputted by voice. On the basis of analysis of CDL parser, the character generator gives a corresponding character. Therefore, recognition of single or un-correlated Chinese character(s) out of context can be made reliably.
