Abstract
Methods and systems consistent with the present invention enroll a candidate phrase uttered by a user in a dictionary having at least one previously enrolled phrase. The system receives utterances of the candidate phrase and determines whether the first utterance is confusingly similar to a previously enrolled phrase and whether they are consistent with each other. The system then enrolls the candidate phrase in the dictionary according to these determinations.
