摘要： An electronic device (300) for speech dialog includes functions that receive (305, 105) a speech phrase that comprises a request phrase that includes an instantiated variable (215), generate (335, 115) pitch and voicing characteristics (315) of the instantiated variable, and performs voice recognition (319, 125) of the instantiated variable to determine a most likely set of acoustic states (235). The electronic device may generate (335, 140) a synthesized value of the instantiated variable using the most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics of the instantiated variable. The electronic device may use a table of previously entered values of variables that have been determined to be unique, and in which the values are associated with a most likely set of acoustic states and the pitch and voicing characteristics determined at the receipt of each value to disambiguate (425, 430) a newly received instantiated variable.

摘要： A method and apparatus for ordering results from a query is provided herein. During operation, a spoken query is received and converted to a textual representation, such as a word lattice. Search strings are then created from the word lattice. For example a set search strings may be created from the N-grams, such as unigrams and bigrams, of the word lattice. The search strings may be ordered and truncated based on confidence values assigned to the n-grams by the speech recognition system. The set of search strings are sent to at least one search engine, and search results are obtained. The search results are then re-arranged or reordered based on a semantic similarity between the search results and the word lattice.

摘要： A method, system and communication device for enabling voice-to-voice searching and ordered content retrieval via audio tags assigned to individual content, which tags generate uniterms that are matched against components of a voice query. The method includes storing content and tagging at least one of the content with an audio tag. The method further includes receiving a voice query to retrieve content stored on the device. When the voice query is received, the method completes a voice-to-voice search utilizing uniterms of the audio tag, scored against the phoneme latent lattice model generated by the voice query to identify matching terms within the audio tags and corresponding stored content. The retrieved content(s) associated with the identified audio tags having uniterms that score within the phoneme lattice model are outputted in an order corresponding to an order in which the uniterms are structured within the voice query.

摘要： A voice toolkit (100) and a method (700) for managing pronunciation dictionaries are provided. The visual toolkit can include a user-interface (110) for entering in a text and a corresponding spoken utterance, a text-to-speech system (120) for synthesizing a pronunciation from the text, a talking speech recognizer (132) for generating pronunciations of the spoken utterance, and a voice processor (130) for validating at least one pronunciation. A developer can type a text of a word into the toolkit and listen to the pronunciation to determine whether the pronunciation is acceptable. If the pronunciation is incorrect the developer can speak the word for providing a spoken utterance having a correct pronunciation.
