Abstract
A speech recognition system recognizes spoken utterances received as a speech signal from a user. A prompt for requesting a spoken utterance from the user is assigned a response identifier which indicates at least one of a plurality of speech recognizers to best recognize a particular type of spoken utterance. The system includes a processor for receiving the speech signal from the user in response to the prompt. The processor also directs the speech signal to the at least one speech recognizer indicated by the response identifier. The speech recognizer generates a plurality of spoken utterance choices from the speech signal and a probability associated with each of the plurality of choices. At least one of the spoken utterance choices is selected based on the associated probabilities.
