<p>A computer input system employing an automatic speech recognizer (1). The system is used for finding names in a data-base. The system reduces the number of letters a speaker needs to enter in order to find a name uniquely in the data-base. The system enables the speaker to enter inputs that identify which words in the name the speaker's letter inputs correspond to. The system builds (3) a set of search parameters incorporating both the user's word identifier inputs (5) and letter inputs (6). This set can be called an abbreviation because it usually represents a small fraction of the total number of letters in the name the user seeks to find. Also disclosed is a probabilistic system for sorting customer demand.</p> |
