HYBRID CLIENT/SERVER SPEECH RECOGNITION IN A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

A computing device is able to use an embedded speech recognizer and a network speech recognizer for speech recognition. In response to detecting speech in the captured audio, the computing device may forward the captured audio to its embedded speech recognizer and to a speech client for the network speech recognizer. The embedded speech recognizer provides an embedded-recognizer result for the captured audio. If a network- recognition criterion is met, the speech client forwards the captured audio to the network speech recognizer and receives a network-recognizer result for the captured audio from the network speech recognizer. A speech recognition result for the captured audio is forwarded to at least one application, wherein the speech recognition result is based on at least one of the embedded-recognizer result and the network-recognizer result.
