Techniques for generating, distributing, and using speech recognition models are described. A shared speech processing facility is used to support speech recognition for a wide variety of devices with limited capabilities including business computer systems, personal data assistants, etc., which are coupled to the speech processing facility via a communications channel, e.g., the Internet. Devices with audio capture capability record and transmit to the speech processing facility, via the Internet, digitized speech and receive speech processing services, e.g., speech recognition model generation and/or speech recognition services, in response. The Internet is used to return speech recognition models and/or information identifying recognized words or phrases. Thus, the speech processing facility can be used to provide speech recognition capabilities to devices without such capabilities and/or to augment a device's speech processing capability. Voice dialing, telephone control and/or other services are provided by the speech processing facility in response to speech recognition results.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This is a continuation of prior U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/726,971, filed Nov. 30, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,915,262, titled "METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING SPEECH RECOGNITION AND USING SPEECH RECOGNITION RESULTS."
A method of interacting with a speech recognition (SR)-enabled personal computer (PC) is provided in which a user SR profile is transferred from a wireless-enabled device to the SR-enabled PC. Interaction with SR applications, on the SR-enabled PC, is carried out by transmitting speech signals wirelessly to the SR-enabled PC. The transmitted speech signals are recognized with the help of the transferred user SR profile.
An apparatus and method for speech recognition and character displaying in a mobile telecommunication system. In a speech recognition and character displaying apparatus for a mobile phone, an RF Module processes a signal received from a base station or to be transmitted to the base station by radio, a speech/character conversion table has conversion data for use in converting voice data to character data, a speech recognition and character conversion unit converts the voice signal received from the base station to voice data using speech recognition and the voice data to character data by referring to the speech/character conversion table, a display displays the converted character data, and a controller provides overall control to the mobile phone, transmits a speech recognition notification request message to the base station in a speech recognition and character display mode, and controls the speech recognition and character display operation.
