DYNAMIC INSERTION OF A SPEECH RECOGNITION ENGINE WITHIN A DISTRIBUTED SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM

摘要

A distributed speech recognition system (Fig. 1) provides for the convenient and expedited insertion of a new speech recognition engine. The system includes a speech processor linked to at least one speech recognition engine . The at least one speech recognition engine includes means for addressing the central speech processor upon installation within the system. The means for addressing transmits to the central speech processor a message indicating it s operating protocol and location to permit the central speech processor to identify and begin transmitting work thereto.
