Method and system for displaying speech recognition status information in a visual notification area

摘要

A speech recognition system provides a user with graphical and textual feedback. The textual feedback is displayed in windows but occupies little of the available display space and are displayed only for a short period of time. The graphical feedback is displayed in a designated notification area and does not obscure any other displayed items. The feedback provided by the speech recognition system may indicate a current mode of operation of the speech recognition system as well as a state of processing of audio input by the speech recognition system.
