METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYNTHESIZING SPEECH FROM SPEECH RECOGNITION TEMPLATES.

摘要

A user-interactive control system for an electronic device which synthesizes speech from speech recognition templates to generate voice reply feedback to the user indicative of which template word was recognized. The acoustic features of the user-spoken speech are extracted by the acoustic processor (110) and applied to the training processor (170) to generate word recognition templates stored in the template memory (160). Recognition processor (120) compares the user-spoken features to the recognition templates to provide voice command data for the device controller (130) which controls the operating parameters of the electronic device (150). The device controller also produces device status data for the synthesis processor (140) which synthesizes a speech reply signal from the word recognition templates. In the preferred embodiment, a hands-free user-interactive control system for a mobile radiotelephone is provided utilizing speech synthesis from speech recognition templates.
