Abstract
The invention provides a speech recognition method for selecting a combination of list elements via a speech input, wherein a first list element of the combination is part of a first set of list elements and a second list element of the combination is part of a second set of list elements, the method comprising the steps of receiving the speech input, comparing each list element of the first set with the speech input to obtain a first candidate list of best matching list elements, processing the second set using the first candidate list to obtain a subset of the second set, comparing each list element of the subset of the second set with the speech input to obtain a second candidate list of best matching list elements, and selecting a combination of list elements using the first and the second candidate list.
