Abstract
A system is provided for decoding one or more sequences of sub-word units output by a speech recognition system into one or more representative words. The system uses a dynamic programming technique to align the sequence of sub-word units output by the recognition system with a number of dictionary sub-word unit sequences representative of dictionary words to identify the most likely word or words corresponding to the spoken input.
