Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for text grouping in a disambiguation process. A text grouping method for use in a disambiguation process can include producing a phonetic representation for each entry in a text list, sorting the list according to the phonetic representation, grouping phonetically similar entries in the list, and providing the sorted list with the groupings to the disambiguation process. The producing step can include producing a phonetic representation for each word in the text list. The producing step also can include producing a phonetic representation for each phrase in the text list.

Abstract: A wizard that from a fixed design can create various audio interfaces. The generated interfaces can be speech only, DTMF only, or various mixed speech and DTMF UIs. When specifying both speech and DTMF prompts, a number of combinations of these interfaces could be automatically generated. Robust speech recognition systems can be built by automatically generating a “shadow” DTMF application. The DTMF application will perform the same task as the primary speech application; however the transfer to a DTMF application could be done explicitly by the user, or could be transferred automatically (either a temporary or permanent transition) at a point in the call flow where there was a problem with the speech recognition.

Abstract: A method and system for defining standard catch styles used in generating speech application code for managing catch events, in which a style-selection menu that allows for selection of one or more catch styles is presented. Each catch style represents a system response to a catch event. A catch style can be selected from the style-selection menu. For each selected catch style, the system can prepare a response for each catch event. If the selected catch style requires playing a new audio message in response to a particular catch event, a contextual message can be entered in one or more text fields. The contextual message entered in each text field corresponds to the new audio message that will be played in response to the particular catch event. In certain catch styles, the entered contextual message is different for each catch event, while in other catch styles, the entered contextual message is the same for each catch event. Finally, if the selected catch style does not require playing of a new audio message in response to a particular catch event, the system can replay the system prompt.

Abstract translation: 一种用于定义用于生成用于管理捕捉事件的语音应用程序代码的标准捕获样式的方法和系统，其中呈现允许选择一个或多个捕捉样式的样式选择菜单。 每个catch样式表示对catch事件的系统响应。 可以从样式选择菜单中选择捕捉样式。 对于每个选定的捕捉样式，系统可以为每个捕获事件准备响应。 如果选择的捕捉样式需要响应于特定的捕获事件播放新的音频消息，则可以在一个或多个文本字段中输入上下文消息。 在每个文本字段中输入的上下文消息对应于将响应于特定捕获事件而播放的新的音频消息。 在某些catch样式中，输入的上下文消息对于每个catch事件是不同的，而在其他catch样式中，输入的上下文消息对于每个catch事件是相同的。 最后，如果所选抓取样式不需要播放响应于特定捕获事件的新音频消息，则系统可以重播系统提示。

Abstract: A method for creating and editing an XML-based speech synthesis document for input to a text-to-speech engine is provided. The method includes recording voice utterances of a user reading a pre-selected text and parsing the recorded voice utterances into individual words and periods of silence. The method also includes recording a synthesized speech output generated by a text-to-speech engine, the synthesized speech output being an audible rendering of the pre-selected text, and parsing the synthesized speech output into individual words and periods of silence. The method further includes annotating the XML-based speech synthesis document based upon a comparison of the recorded voice utterances and the recorded synthesized speech output.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for assuring user-defined voice commands are unambiguous. The solution can include a step of identifying a user attempt to enter a user-defined voice command into a voice-enabled system. A safety analysis can be performed on the user-defined voice command to determine a likelihood that the user-defined voice command will be confused with preexisting voice commands recognized by the voice-enabled system. When a high likelihood of confusion is determined by the safety analysis, a notification can be presented that the user-defined voice command is subject to confusion. A user can then define a different voice command or can choose to continue to use the potentially confusing command, possibly subject to a system imposed confusion mitigating condition or action.
