Abstract
In a method for speech recognition in a motor vehicle, speech inputs from a user are received and at least one of them is supplied to a vehicle-internal onboard speech recognition system without raising a query with the user. The speech recognition system generates a first recognition result, which, however, is not necessarily always correct and thus it has often been necessary up to now to raise a query with the user or allow the user to make corrections. The method provides reliable speech recognition that distracts the user in the motor vehicle as little as possible from the traffic. To this end, a processing unit supplies all or part of the speech input also to a vehicle-external offboard speech recognition system, which transmits a second recognition result to the processing unit. Depending on the first and the second recognition results, the speech text is then determined.
