Abstract
A computer implemented method for automatically processing a data request comprising accessing a voice signal from a caller, determining geographic information associated with the caller from telephone network information associated with a call made by the caller, and retrieving a speech recognition grammar customized to the geographic information associated with the caller. The method further includes recognizing the voice signal by matching the voice signal to an entry of the speech recognition grammar and providing a directory listing to the caller based on the entry of the speech recognition grammar. The selected grammar may be customized to bias speech recognition to more frequently recognize cities local to the geographic information.
