Abstract
In a speech training and recognition system, the current invention detects and warns the user about the similar sounding entries to vocabulary and permits entry of such confusingly similar terms which are marked along with the stored similar terms to identify the similar words. In addition, the states in similar words are weighted to apply more emphasis to the differences between similar words than the similarities of such words. Another aspect of the current invention is to use modified scoring algorithm to improve the recognition performance in the case where confusing entries were made to the vocabulary despite the warning. Yet another aspect of the current invention is to detect and warn the user about potential problems with new entries such as short words and two or more word entries with long silence periods in between words. Finally, the current invention also includes alerting the user about the dissimilarity of the multiple tokens of the same vocabulary item in the case of multiple-token training.
