Application No. 08/096,686
The disclosed invention relates to a system for generating
text in response to a succession of audio signals representing
spoken input events provided by a user.
Claim 21 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it
reads as follows:
21. A system for generating text in response to a
succession of audio signals representing spoken input events
provided by a user, said system comprising:
means for comparing each spoken input event with a plurality of
tokens representing vocabulary words thereby to identify a
plurality of candidate tokens which may correspond to the spoken
input event, each candidate being scored as to likelihood of
match;
computer implemented means for generating and storing, for each
spoken input event, a data record which includes:
the identity of the best matching candidate token;
the identity of the correct candidate; and
data placing the chronology of the data record relative
other data records in the database;
thereby to generate a dictation event database useful for
improving recognizer accuracy by learning a user’s speech
behavior.
