Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for directing a pre-recorded audio file to a speech recognition program that does not normally accept such files, such as IBM Corporation's Via Voice.TM. speech recognition program. The method includes: (a) launching the speech recognition program to accept speech as if the speech recognition program were receiving live audio from a microphone; (b) finding a mixer utility associated with the sound card; (c) opening the mixer utility, the mixer utility having settings that determine an input source and an output path; (d) changing the settings of the mixer utility to specify a line-in input source and a wave-out output path; (e) activating a microphone input of the speech recognition software; and (f) initiating a media player associated with the computer to play the pre-recorded audio file into the line-in input source. The method may additionally save and restore the original configuration settings of the mixer utility.
