Abstract

See full text

A word recognition system is disclosed for converting spoken utterances into either text or commands. The system runs on a platform capable of running a plurality applications. Text and commands are sent from a word recognition application to one or more user applications. In addition, information pertaining to the state of the user applications is sent back to the word recognition application. Word recognition probabilities are modified based the information received from the user applications. As a result, the probabilities of recognizing a spoken utterance as a particular command will be greater when that command is active in the user application then when it is not active. Also, text strings will be assigned higher probabilities when they are appropriate for the present state of the user application.
