Abstract
A system and method for implementing a refined dictionary for speech recognition includes a database analyzer that initially identifies first vocabulary words that are present in a training database and second vocabulary words that are not present in the training database. A relevance module then performs refinement procedures upon the first vocabulary words to produce refined short word pronunciations and refined long word pronunciations that are added to a refined dictionary. A consensus module compares the second pronunciations with calculated plurality pronunciations to identify final consensus pronunciations that are then included in the refined dictionary.
