METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VERBAL ENTRY OF DIGITS OR COMMANDS

摘要

The present invention relates to a user interactive user friendly speech recognition controller and method of operating the same. The speech recognition controller recognises (S1, S11, S12, S20, S27) at least one keyword in a speech utterance enunciated by a user and obtains (S2, S7, S13, S24, S40) for said at least one recognized keyword a recognition reliability which indicates how reliably said at least one keyword has been recognized correctly by the speech recognition controller. It then compares (S3, S26, S41) said reliability with a recognition reliability threshold and if said obtained reliability is lower than said recognition reliability threshold, it provides (S4, S14, S32, S35) an unreliability indication to the user (S4, S14, S32). In response to said unreliability indication it recognises at least one further keyword and then corrects said at least one recognized keyword based on said at least one further keyword recognized in response to said unreliability indication to the user.
