摘要： A characteristic-specific digitization method and apparatus are disclosed that reduces the error rate in converting input information into a computer-readable format. The input information is analyzed and subsets of the input information are classified according to whether the input information exhibits a specific physical parameter affecting recognition accuracy. If the input information exhibits the specific physical parameter affecting recognition accuracy, the characteristic-specific digitization system recognizes the input information using a characteristic-specific recognizer that demonstrates improved performance for the given physical parameter. If the input information does not exhibit the specific physical parameter affecting recognition accuracy, the characteristic-specific digitization system recognizes the input information using a general recognizer that performs well for typical input information. In one implementation, input speech having very low recognition accuracy as a result of a physical speech characteristic is automatically identified and recognized using a characteristic-specific speech recognizer.

摘要： A method and apparatus for using a tree structure to constrain a time-synchronous, fast search for candidate words in an acoustic stream is described. A minimum stay of three frames in each graph node visited is imposed by allowing transitions only every third frame. This constraint enables the simplest possible Markov model for each phoneme while enforcing the desired minimum duration. The fast, time-synchronous search for likely words is done for an entire sentence/utterance. The list of hypotheses beginning at each time frame is stored for providing, on-demand, lists of contender/candidate words to the asynchronous, detailed match phase of decoding.

摘要： A computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for synthesizing speech. A computer implemented method for synthesizing speech includes providing a database of speech of a source speaker, and providing a prosody model of speech of a target speaker different from the source speaker. Text input to be synthesized is received, and the prosody model of speech of the target speaker is applied to the text input to select segments of the speech of the source speaker in the database to form synthesized speech of the text input. The synthesized speech of the text input is then output.

摘要： A technique for producing speech output in an automatic dialog system in accordance with a detected context is provided. Communication is received from a user at the automatic dialog system. A context of the communication from the user is detected in a context detector of the automatic dialog system. A message is created in a natural language generator of the automatic dialog system in communication with the context detector. The message is conveyed to the user through a speech synthesis system of the automatic dialog system, in communication with the natural language generator and the context detector. Responsive to a detected level of ambient noise, the context detector provides at least one command in a markup language to cause the natural language generator to create the message using maximally intelligible words and to cause the speech synthesis system to convey the message with increased volume and decreased speed.

摘要： A fast vocabulary independent method for spotting words in speech utilizes a preprocessing step and a coarse-to-detailed search strategy for spotting a word/phone sequence in speech. The preprocessing includes a Viterbi-beam phone level decoding using a tree-based phone language model. The coarse search matches phone-ngrams to identify regions of speech as putative word hits, and the detailed search performs an acoustic match at the putative hits with a model of the given word included in the vocabulary of the recognizer.
