SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for identifying any one of a plurality of utterances using a programmed digital computing system, each utterance having an audible form representative of a sequence of speech elements each having a respective position in the sequence. The method comprising: storing a digital representation corresponding to each of the plurality of utterances (6) and assigning a respective identifying designation to each utterance; creating a table composed of a plurality of entries, each entry being associated with a unique combination of a particular speech element and a particular position in the sequence; converting an utterance to be identified and spoken by a person into a sequence of speech elements (10, 16); reading each table entry associated with a speech element and position combination; and determining which identifying designation appears most frequently in the entries which have been read in the reading step (2).
