Abstract
A natural language call router forwards an incoming call from a caller to an appropriate destination. The call router has a speech recognition mechanism responsive to words spoken by a caller for producing recognized text corresponding to the spoken words. A robust parsing mechanism is responsive to the recognized text for detecting a class of words in the recognized text. The class is defined as a group of words having a common attribute. An interpreting mechanism is responsive to the detected class for determining the appropriate destination for routing the call.
