Abstract: A mobile device, such as a cellular telephone includes a voice interface that includes one part that may not be specific to a particular carrier, and a second part that provides an interface to services that are specific to a carrier or to service or information providers that are not necessarily available with all carriers. A voice command interface provides easy access to the carrier services. The set of carrier services is optionally extendible by the carrier.

Abstract: Text-to-speech (TTS) generation is used in conjunction with large vocabulary speech recognition to say words selected by the speech recognition. The software for performing the large vocabulary speech recognition can share speech modeling data with the TTS software. TTS or recorded audio can be used to automatically say both recognized text and the names of recognized commands after their recognition. The TTS can automatically repeats text recognized by the speech recognition after each of a succession of end of utterance detections. A user can move a cursor back or forward in recognized text, and the TTS can speak one or more words at the cursor location after each such move. The speech recognition can be used to produces a choice list of possible recognition candidates and the TTS can be used to provide spoken output of one or more of the candidates on the choice list.

Abstract translation: 文本到语音（TTS）生成与大词汇语音识别结合使用来说出由语音识别选择的单词。 用于执行大词汇语音识别的软件可以与TTS软件共享语音建模数据。 TTS或录制音频可以用于在识别后自动说出识别的文本和识别的命令的名称。 TTS可以在每次连续的话语检测结束后自动重复通过语音识别识别的文本。 用户可以在识别的文本中向后或向前移动光标，并且在每次这样的移动之后，TTS可以在光标位置说一个或多个单词。 语音识别可用于产生可能的识别候选者的选择列表，并且TTS可以用于在选择列表上提供一个或多个候选者的口语输出。

Abstract: A handheld device with both large-vocabulary speech recognition and audio recoding allows users to switch between at least two of the following three modes: (1) recording audio without corresponding speech recognition; (2) recording with speech recognition; and (3) speech recognition without audio recording. A handheld device with both large-vocabulary speech recognition and audio recoding enables a user to select a portion of previously recorded sound and have speech recognition performed upon it. A system enables a user to search for a text label associated with portions of unrecognized recorded sound by uttering the label's words. A large-vocabulary system allows users to switch between playing back recorded audio and speech recognition with a single input, with successive audio playbacks automatically starting slightly before the end of prior playback. And a cell phone that allows both large-vocabulary speech recognition and audio recording and playback.

Abstract translation: 具有大词汇语音识别和音频重新编码的手持设备允许用户在以下三种模式中的至少两种之间进行切换：（1）记录没有相应语音识别的音频; （2）用语音识别录音; 和（3）没有录音的语音识别。 具有大词汇语音识别和音频重新编码的手持设备使得用户能够选择先前记录的声音的一部分并且对其进行语音识别。 系统使用户能够通过发出标签的单词来搜索与未被识别的记录声音的部分相关联的文本标签。 大词汇系统允许用户使用单个输入在回放记录的音频和语音识别之间切换，连续的音频播放在先前播放结束之前自动开始。 和一个手机，允许大词汇语音识别和音频录音和播放。

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing voice-mediated search capability to a mobile communications device involve receiving a signal from the mobile device that includes a representation of a spoken search request from a user of the mobile device, using speech recognition software to convert the search request into a text search request, extracting side information contained implicitly within the received signal, using the extracted side information to assign the user to a category, sending the text search request and the user category to content providers, receiving from the content providers content that is responsive to the text search request and the user category, and sending to the mobile device search results that are based on content from content providers. The methods and systems further involve sending searches and user categories to advertising providers, and sending advertisements returned by the advertising providers to the mobile device along with the search results.

Abstract: The present invention relates to speech recognition using selectable recognition modes. This includes innovations such as: large vocabulary speech recognition programming that supplies recognized words to external program as they are recognized, and allows a user to select between large vocabulary recognition of an utterance with and without language context from the prior utterance independently of state of the external program; allowing a user to select between continuous and discrete speech recognition that use substantially the same vocabulary; allowing a user to select between continuous and discrete large-vocabulary speech recognition modes; allowing a user to select between at least two different alphabetic entry speech recognition modes; and allowing a user to select from among four or more of the following recognitions modes when creating text: a large-vocabulary mode, an alphabetic entry mode, a number entry mode, and a punctuation entry mode.

Abstract: A new word model is trained from synthetic word samples derived by Monte Carlo techniques from one or more prior word models. The prior word model can be a phonetic word model and the new word model can be a non-phonetic, whole-word, word model. The prior word model can be trained from data that has undergone a first channel normalization and the synthesized word samples from which the new word model is trained can undergo a different channel normalization similar to that to be used in a given speech recognition context. The prior word model can have a first model structure and the new word model can have a second, different, model structure. These differences in model structure can include, for example, differences of model topology; differences of model complexity; and differences in the type of basis function used in a description of such probability distributions.

Abstract: Large vocabulary speech recognition can automatically turn recognition off in one or more ways. A user command can turn on recognition that is automatically turned off after the next end of utterance. A plurality of buttons can each be associated with a different speech mode and the touch of a given button can turn on, and then automatically turn off, the given button's associated speech recognition mode. These selectable modes can include large vocabulary and alphabetic entry modes, or continuous and discrete modes. A first user input can start recognition that allows a sequence of vocabulary words to be recognized and a second user input can start recognition that turns off after one word has been recognized. A first user input can start recognition that allows a sequence of utterances to be recognized and a second user input can start recognition that allows only a single utterance to be recognized.

Abstract translation: 大词汇语音识别可以以一种或多种方式自动转移识别。 用户命令可以打开在下一个结束语句后自动关闭的识别。 多个按钮可以各自与不同的语音模式相关联，并且给定按钮的触摸可以打开，然后自动关闭给定按钮的相关语音识别模式。 这些可选择的模式可以包括大词汇和字母输入模式，或连续和离散模式。 第一用户输入可以开始识别，其允许识别词汇序列的序列，并且第二用户输入可以开始识别，一个字被识别之后关闭。 第一用户输入可以开始识别，其允许识别一系列话语，并且第二用户输入可以开始仅允许单个话语被识别的识别。
