Abstract
A speed up speech recognition search method is provided wherein the number of HMM states is determined and a microslot is allocated for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) below a given threshold level of states. A macroslot treats a whole HMM as a basic unit. The lowest level of macroslot is a phone. If the number of states exceeds the threshold level a microslot is allocated for this HMM.
