    摘要: A system and method is provided for real time teleconferencing, where one of the participants is deaf or hearing-impaired. In one aspect of the system and method, each participant has an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system and a chat service system, such as AOL Instant Messenger™. Each participant may have a different type of ASR system, as well as a different type of chat service system. It is not necessary that the deaf or hearing-impaired participant have an ASR system. For each participant, the participant's ASR system transcribes the speech of the participant and provides it to the participant's chat service system, which translates the transcribed text into the chat service message in the format of the participant's chat service system. An Integration Server receives all the participant's chat messages, which have various formats, and translates them into the format used by the chat service system of the deaf or hearing-impaired participant, thus allowing her to see the transcribed text of the conversation between the other participants. In addition, the deaf or hearing-impaired participant inputs text to her chat service system, which creates a formatted message text. The Integration Server receives this formatted chat message and translates it into the formats of the remaining participant's chat service systems, so that the remaining participants see the comments of the deaf or hearing-impaired participant. In other aspects, the teleconferencing system and method is used to connect disparate chat service systems, without necessarily including a deaf or hearing-impaired participant.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for real time transcription or translation services. In one aspect of the system and method, a user requests transcription/translation service with certain service parameters. It is determined what resources can be used for such service, and, if all the service parameters can be met, the service is performed. Resources include live stenographers or translators, and computer processing power. If all the service parameters can not be met, it is determined whether to perform the service by meeting only some of the service parameters. These determinations may be programmed into the system beforehand. In another aspect of the system and method, a user makes a request for transcription/translation service, and the request is displayed so that stenographers or translators may make bids to perform the transcription/translation service. In some embodiments, the request is only displayed to those stenographers or translators who are determined to be able to perform the service. Bids are received and stored. The user chooses whether or not to accept a bid.

    摘要: A system and method for recognizing spoken liaisoned words. The method and system identify each word in the vocabulary as a liaison generator and/or liaison receptor. If the word is a liaison receptor, and if the word is preceded by a liaison generator, the most probable recognition result for the word will be the liaison generated by the preceding word plus the word. Liaisons are identified on an immediately preceding word in accordance with rules in a language. A word that ends with an unpronounced consonant phoneme, when followed by a word beginning with a consonant phoneme, and ends with a pronounced phoneme, when followed by a word with a vowel-like phoneme, causes a match list for the current word to be amended with words having liaisons added at their beginnings.

    摘要: A method and system of recognizing speech. The method and system perform a fast match on a word in the string of speech to be recognized which generates a fast match list representing words in a system vocabulary that most likely match a current word to be recognized. Next, the method and system perform a detailed match on the words in the fast match list and generate a detailed match list representing words that most likely match the current word to be recognized. Then for each word in the detailed match list that can accept a liaison phoneme from a preceding word, where each word is a liaison receptor, adding to the detailed match list a form of the liaison receptor, where the form represents an addition of a liaison phoneme to the liaison receptor, creating a modified detailed match list which is inclusive of the forms of the liaison receptors added to the detailed match list. Finally the method and system outputs a word in the modified detailed match list that has the highest probability of matching the word to be recognized.
