A speech recognition system recognizes filled pause utterances made by a speaker. In one embodiment, an ergodic model is used to acoustically model filled pauses that provides flexibility allowing varying utterances of the filled pauses to be made. The ergodic HMM model can also be used for other types of noise such as but limited to breathing, keyboard operation, microphone noise, laughter, door openings and/or closings, or any other noise occurring in the environment of the user or made by the user. Similarly, silence can be modeled using an ergodic HMM model. Recognition can be used with N-gram, context-free grammar or hybrid language models.
