System and method for generating a phonetic baseform for a word and using the generated baseform for speech recognition

摘要

Out-of-vocabulary word models for a speech recognizer vocabulary are generated by forming phonemic transcriptions (phonetic baseforms) of user's utterances in terms of existing reference phonemes by using a speech recognition algorithm to match input sub-word feature sample sequences to suitably-constrained allowable sequences of existing reference phoneme features. The resultant new-vocabulary-word phonetic baseform models are stored for subsequent speech recognition using the same recognition algorithm.
