Problems solved by technology

However, this requirement to pre-select a particular language is inconvenient, for example, where an address book contains a mix of names or other communication information in both languages
Also, this requirement to preselect a particular language prevents the system from using speech recognition systems to recognize mixed, multilingual, two-part names—for example, someone whose first name is in English and their last name is in Mandarin

Embodiment Construction

[0031] see figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram illustrating the functional components of the system 100 for speech recognition of multilingual names according to an embodiment of the present invention. System 100 operates as follows. Letter-to-pronunciation converter 105 converts the text of the name into an ordered sequence of phonetic units. A name is usually one of many names stored as a representation of individual characters in a personal electronic device such as a mobile phone or personal digital assistant (PDA). For example, names may be stored on an electronic device as part of an address book or address book. Letter-to-pronunciation converter 105 first recognizes at least one language for names entered into system 100 . The name is then converted into an ordered sequence of phonetic units stored in the open dictionary 110 . The system 115 also includes a set 115 of mixed language Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). The set of HMMs 115 includes Gaussian mixture para...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and system (100) for using a plurality of special language denominator-voice transformers of a mixed denominator-voice transformer (105) to do voice identifying to the multiply language name. It comprises a storage text of the electric device, wherein the text represents a plurality of names formed by characters. It then identifies at least one language for the name and changes each name into the voice unit sequence stored in the open words list (110). It uses the microphone (120) which is associated with the electric device to receive the word and changes thevoice into the characteristic vector of the characteristic extractor (125). It then matches the characteristic vector with at least one name voice unit sequence in the automatic voice identifying motor (130).

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention generally relates to speech recognition processing. Specifically, the present invention is applicable to (but not limited to) voice recognition of names, where the names are in multiple languages, using personal electronic devices. Background of the invention [0002] Personal electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and pagers have become ubiquitous throughout industrialized society. Millions of users now rely on these devices for quick and easy access to electronic information and communication. The reduced weight and size make these devices easy to carry (eg, they can be carried in pockets and purses), thereby increasing their convenience. However, the downside of reduced device size is that touch interfaces on the device, such as keypads and buttons, are often very small and inconvenient to use. [0003] Accordingly, speech recognition is a very valuable feature on many personal electr...
