any Java application “operable to dynamically specify the
grammar...” Moreover, even if Sarukkai could be interpreted
to find an application program interface between the Java
application and a speech recognition server, there is
certainly no indication therein that any such interface would
be operable in a two-way manner, as required by the instant
claims. That is, the instant claimed subject matter provides
for the speech recognition server to receive a grammar and a
speech input and to output a speech recognition result based
on these inputs. The Java application specifies the grammar
and also receives the result from the speech recognition
server. The Java application performs an action based on the
speech recognition server result. An application program
interface provides for this two-way communication between the
Java application specifying the grammar and the speech
recognition server receiving the grammar, performing a
processing operation based on the grammar and a speech input,
and sending a result back to the Java application. No such
two-way communication between a speech recognition server and
a Java application, via an application program interface, is
indicated in the disclosure of Sarukkai. Thus, even if
