Abstract

See full text

In a computer speech recognition system, the present invention provides a method and system for recognizing and executing a voice command that has a dictation portion. Upon receiving a user input, the spoken utterance is processed to identify a pattern of words which matches a pre-determined command pattern. Then, computer system command is identified that corresponds to the pre-determined command pattern and has at least one parameter. The parameter is extracted from a dictation portion of the spoken utterance which is separate from the pattern of words matching the command pattern. The computer system command is then processed to perform an event in accordance with the parameter. If the spoken utterance does not contain a pattern of words matching a pre-determined command pattern, then the spoken utterance is recognized as dictation and inserted at a specified location into an electronic document or other system or application software.
