Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically generating a speech recognition vocabulary for a speech recognition system from a listing that contains a number of entries, each entry containing a multi-word identification data that distinguishes that entry from other entries in the list. The method comprises the steps of creating for each entry in the listing a plurality of orthographies in the speech recognition vocabulary that are formed by combining selected words from the entry. The words combination is effected by applying a heuristics model that mimics the way users formulate requests to the automated directory assistance system. The method is particularly useful for generating speech recognition vocabularies for automated directory assistance systems.
