A method for managing an interactive dialog between a machine and a user is claimed. In one embodiment, a confidence value is determined in response to an input provided by the user or an environment of the user. The confidence value can be utilized to determine the mode and the ...

09/14/06 - 20060206329 - Turn-taking confidence
A method for managing interactive dialog between a machine and a user is claimed. In one embodiment, an interaction between the machine and the user is managed by determining at least one likelihood value which is dependent upon a possible speech onset of the user. In another embodiment, the likelihood ...

09/14/06 - 20060206328 - Voice-controlled audio and video devices
Text information regarding audio and/or video data is assigned to phonemes by grapheme-to-phoneme conversion and used as the vocabulary of a speech recognition device. ...

08/24/06 - 20060190256 - Method and apparatus utilizing voice input to resolve ambiguous manually entered text input
From a text entry tool, a digital data processing device receives inherently ambiguous user input. Independent of any other user input, the device interprets the received user input against a vocabulary to yield candidates such as words (of which the user input forms the entire word or part such as ...

04/06/06 - 20060074661 - Navigation apparatus
In this navigation apparatus, when speech recognition of inputted speech is carried out, keywords included in the content of the recognized speech are searched from a dictionary DB, and then these words are displayed as keywords of a POI search. When a correction of a keyword is required by the ...

03/30/06 - 20060069563 - Constrained mixed-initiative in a voice-activated command system
A method of allowing a user to provide constrained, mixed-initiative utterances in order to improve accuracy and avoid disambiguation dialogs when recognition of a user's audible input would otherwise render a number of possible selections from the database or list is provided. A grammar is adapted to include additional information ...

12/01/05 - 20050267754 - Systems and methods for performing speech recognition
A method for performing speech recognition includes receiving a voice input and generating at least one possible result corresponding to the voice input. The method may also include calculating a value for the speech recognition result and comparing the calculated value to a particular portion of the speech recognition result. ...

11/24/05 - 20050261905 - Method and apparatus for generating dialog prosody structure, and speech synthesis method and system employing the same
A dialog prosody structure generating method and apparatus, and a speech synthesis method and system employing the dialog prosody structure generation method and apparatus, are provided. The speech synthesis method using the dialog prosody structure generation method includes: determining a system speaking style based on a user utterance; if the ...

11/24/05 - 20050261904 - System and method for voice recognition using user location information
An improved voice-recognition system and method that uses location data to build a library of location-specific terms. In one embodiment, the cell site of a caller's wireless telephone is used to determine the approximate geographic location of the user, and based on this location, a list of nearby landmarks is ...

09/22/05 - 20050209854 - Methodology for performing a refinement procedure to implement a speech recognition dictionary
A system and method for performing a refinement procedure to effectively implement a speech recognition dictionary for spontaneous speech recognition may include a problematic word identifier configured to divide vocabulary words from an initial speech recognition dictionary into problematic words and non-problematic words according to pre-defined identification criteria. A candidate ...

08/18/05 - 20050182628 - Domain-based dialog speech recognition method and apparatus
A domain-based speech recognition method and apparatus, the method including: performing speech recognition by using a first language model and generating a first recognition result including a plurality of first recognition sentences; selecting a plurality of candidate domains, by using a word included in each of the first recognition sentences ...

07/07/05 - 20050149328 - Method for entering text
In a method of entering text into a device a first character input is provided that is indicative of a first character of a text entry. Next, a vocalization of the text entry is captured. A probable word candidate is then identified for a first word of the vocalization based ...

06/30/05 - 20050144001 - Speech recognition system trained with regional speech characteristics
