<p>A user-interactive speech recognition control system is disclosed for recognizing a complete sequence of keywords (e.g., a telephone number such as 123-4567) via entering, verifying, and editing variable-length utterance strings (e.g., 1-2-3; 4-5; 6-7) separated by the user-defined placement of pauses. The device controller (120) utilizes timers (124) to monitor the pause time between partial-sequence digit strings recognized by the speech recognizer (110). When a string of digits is followed by a pretedermined pause time interval, the recognized digits will be replied via the speech synthesizer (130). An additional string of digits can then be entered, and only the subsequent string will be replied after the next pause. Furthermore, the user has the flexibility to correct only the last digit string entered, or the entire sequence. Hence, if there is an error in only one digit, the erroneous digit string can be corrected without having to re-enter the entire digit sequence. The invention is well-suited to be used in a hands-free voice command dialing system for a mobile radiotelephone, wherein vehicular background noise may affect recognition accuracy.</p> |
