摘要:
A method and a system for improving recall of speech data in a computer speech system can include a plurality of speech cache management steps including providing a speech cache, receiving a speech system input and identifying a speech event in the received speech system input, the speech event comprising speech data. Subsequently, the speech data can be compared to pre-determined speech cache entry criteria; and, if the speech data meets one of the pre-determined entry criteria, at least one entry can be added to the speech cache, the at least one entry corresponding to the speech data. Additionally, the speech data can be compared to pre-determined speech cache exit criteria; and, if the speech data meets one of the pre-determined exit criteria, at least one entry can be purged from the speech cache, the at least one entry corresponding to the speech data. The entry criteria can include frequently used speech data, recently used speech data, and important speech data. Similarly, the exit criteria can include least frequently used speech data associated with each entry in the speech cache, least recently used speech data associated with each entry in the speech cache and least important speed data associated with each entry in the speech cache.

A transcription system (100) includes a computer (102), a monitor (104), and a microphone (110). Via the microphone, a user of the system provides input speech that is received and transcribed (204) by the system. The system monitors (205) the accuracy of the transcribed speech during transcription. The system also determines (210) whether the accuracy of the transcribed speech is sufficient and, if not, automatically activates (214) a speech recognition improvement tool and alerts (212) the user that the tool has been activated.

In a computer system adapted for text-to-speech playback, a method for instructing a user in performing a task having a plurality of steps can include retrieving a textual instruction from a location in an electronic storage device of the computer system. The textual instruction can correspond to one or more of the steps in the task. The textual instruction can be displayed in a task automation user interface, and a text-to-speech (TTS) conversion of the textual instruction can be executed. The steps can be repeated until all textual instructions corresponding to each step in the task have been retrieved and TTS converted.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for transcribing text from multiple speakers in a computer system having a speech recognition application. The system receives speech from one of a plurality of speakers through a single channel, assigns a speaker ID to the speaker, transcribes the speech into text, and associates the speaker ID with the speech and text. In order to detect a speaker change, the system monitors the speech input through the channel for a speaker change.

A method of proofreading and correcting dictated text contained in an electronic document can include selecting proofreading criteria for identifying textual errors contained in the electronic document; playing back each word contained in the electronic document; and, marking as a textual error each played back word in nonconformity with at least one of the proofreading criteria.
摘要:
A method for concurrent presentation of multiple audio information sources. In the method, audio information from at least two audio information sources is concurrently presented, and a user speech selection of one of the audio information sources is accepted. At least one of the audio information sources can then be reconfigured. The reconfiguration audibly distinguishes the user selected audio information source from other audio information sources.

A computer system has a notification manager for playing a message to a user by selecting one of a plurality of audio notifications. The method includes the step of setting a priority level for each notification arriving into a queue. The notification is inserted into a position in the queue based upon the priority level of the notification, such that the audio notifications at the queue top have a generally higher priority than audio notifications at the queue bottom. The notification at the top of the queue can be selected if the priority level of the notification is greater than a predetermined gate level. Once a notification is selected, a message corresponding to the selected notification is played to the user.
摘要:
An efficient method and system, particularly well-suited for correcting natural language understanding (NLU) commands, corrects spoken commands misinterpreted by a speech recognition system. The method involves a series of steps, including: receiving the spoken command from a user; parsing the command to identify a paraphrased command; displaying the paraphrased command; and accepting corrections of the paraphrased command from the user. The paraphrased command is segmented according to command language categories, which include a command action category, an action object category, and an action and/or object modifying category. The paraphrased command is displayed in a user interface window segmented into these command language categories. The user interface window also contains alternative commands for each segment of the paraphrased command.

A transcription system (100) includes a computer (102), a monitor (104), and a microphone (110). Via the microphone, a user of the system provides input speech that is received and transcribed (204) by the system. The system monitors (205) the accuracy of the transcribed speech during transcription. The system also determines (210) whether the accuracy of the transcribed speech is sufficient and, if not, automatically activates (214) a speech recognition improvement tool and alerts (212) the user that the tool has been activated. This tool could also be manually activated (206) by the user. The type of recognition problem is identified (216) by the user or automatically by the system, and the system provides (218) possible solution steps for enabling the user to adjust (219) system parameters or modify user behavior in order to alleviate the recognition problem. The system also provides the user the ability to test (222) the transcription process in order to determine whether the solution has improved the recognition accuracy.
摘要:
A method and system for completing user input in a speech recognition system. The method can include a series of steps which can include receiving a user input. The user input can specify an attribute of a selection. The method can include comparing the user input with a set of selections in the speech recognition system. Also, the method can include limiting the set of selections to an available set of selections which can correspond to the received user input. The step of matching a received user spoken utterance with the selection in the available set of selections also can be included.
