<p>The present invention is a novel system and method for overcoming the shortcomings of existing speech-to-text systems which relates to the processing of unrecognized words. On encountering words which are not decipherable by it the preferred embodiment of the present invention analyzes the syllables which make up these words and translates them into the appropriate phonetic representations. The method described by the present invention ensures that words which were not uttered clearly would not be lost or distorted in the process of transcribing the text. Additionally, it allows using smaller and simpler speech-to-text applications, which are suitable for mobile devices with limited storage and processing resources, since these applications may use smaller dictionaries and may be designed only to identify commonly used words. Also disclosed are several examples for possible implementations of the described system and method.</p> |
