Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that relate to identifying phonetically similar speech grammar terms during computer program development. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method including providing a speech grammar development tool configured to receive input of a text representation of each of a plurality of proposed speech grammar terms, convert each text representation to a phonetic representation of the speech grammar term, compare the phonetic representation of the speech grammar term to the phonetic representations of other speech grammar terms using a weighted similarity matrix, and provide an output regarding risk of confusion between two proposed speech grammar terms based upon a comparison of the phonetic representations of the two proposed speech grammar terms. The method further includes receiving data regarding incorrect speech grammar term identification, and modifying one or more weights in the weighted similarity matrix based upon the data.
