Abstract
An electronic device () for speech dialog includes functions that receive () a speech phrase that comprises a request phrase that includes an instantiated variable (), generate () pitch and voicing characteristics () of the instantiated variable, and performs speech recognition () of the instantiated variable to determine a most likely set of acoustic states (). The electronic device may generate () a synthesized value of the instantiated variable using the most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics of the instantiated variable. The electronic device may use a table of previously entered values of variables that have been determined to be unique, and in which the values are associated with a most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics determined at the receipt of each value to disambiguate () a newly received instantiated variable.
