METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING JAPANESE VOICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To shorten a conversion processing time required for converting an inputted voice into a 'KANA' (Japanese syllabary)/'KANJI' (Chinese character) sequence and to improve the performance of conversion by using a reading dictionary for 'KANA'/'KANJI' sequences and deleting a candidate whose reading is incorrect. CONSTITUTION:A syllable reference pattern of a hidden Markov model and that of 'KANJI' reading are stored in a reference pattern memory 4. A statistical language model relating to the generation order of 'KANA' and 'KANJI' characters is stored in a 'KANA'/'KANJI' statistical language model memory 5. The reading information of each 'KANA'/'KANJI' sequence is stored in a dictionary memory 6. When the phoneme sequence of a conversion character candidate does not correspond to reading shown in the dictionary 6, a recognition part 3 deletes the candidate and excludes the candidate from comparison with total tolerance. Consequently a conversion candidate in which a 'KANA'/'KANJI' sequence does not correctly correspond to a phoneme sequence can be deleted.
