Abstract
A distributed voice recognition system () and method employs principles of bottom-up (i.e., raw input) and top-down (i.e., prediction based on past experience) processing to perform client-side and server-side processing by (i) at the client-side, replacing application data by a phonotactic table (); (ii) at the server-side, tracking separate confidence scores for matches against an acoustic model and comparison to a grammar; and (iii) at the server-side using a contention resolver () to weight the client-side and server-side results to establish a single output which represents the collaboration between client-side processing and server-side processing.
