Combination and federation of local and remote speech recognition

摘要

Techniques to provide automatic speech recognition at a local device are described. An apparatus may include an audio input to receive audio data indicating a task. The apparatus may further include a local recognizer component to receive the audio data, to pass the audio data to a remote recognizer while receiving the audio data, and to recognize speech from the audio data. The apparatus may further include a federation component operative to receive one or more recognition results from the local recognizer and/or the remote recognizer, and to federate a plurality of recognition results to produce a most likely result. The apparatus may further include an application to perform the task indicated by the most likely result. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. An article comprising a computer-readable storage device and containing instructions that if executed enable a computer to:
receive audio data indicating a task at a local device; pass the audio data to a local recognizer on the local device; perform speech recognition on the audio data with the local recognizer; based upon network bandwidth, delay passing the audio data to the remote recognizer until it is determined that the local recognizer cannot complete the speech recognition; receive a recognition result from at least one of the local and the remote recognizers; and perform the task indicated by the recognition result.
