Pronunciation of new input words for speech processing

摘要

A system is provided for allowing a user to add word models to a speech recognition system. In particular, the system allows a user to input a number of renditions of the new word and which generates from these a sequence of phonemes representative of the new word. This representative sequence of phonemes is stored in a word to phoneme dictionary together with the typed version of the word for subsequent use by the speech recognition system.
