Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for performing speech recognition using a dynamic vocabulary. Results from a preliminary speech recognition pass can be used to update or refine a language model in order to improve the accuracy of search results and to simplify subsequent recognition passes. This iterative process greatly reduces the number of alternative hypotheses produced during each speech recognition pass, as well as the time required to process subsequent passes, making the speech recognition process faster, more efficient and more accurate. The iterative process is characterized by the use of results from one or more data set queries, where the keys used to query the data set, as well as the queries themselves, are constructed in a manner that produces more effective language models for use in subsequent attempts at decoding a given speech signal.
