Abstract
In a speech recognition system, a method of providing a concise form of a natural command can include receiving a user specified command and identifying all functionally equivalent natural command forms of the user specified command from a natural command grammar. The length of each functionally equivalent natural command form can be determined. The method also can include presenting a selected one of the functionally equivalent natural command forms having the shortest length to the user.
