Abstract:
1. A voice dialing method, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving from a user multiple utterances each representative of at least one digit, using a microphone associated with an automatic speech recognition system; (b) identifying multiple recognition results for the multiple utterances using a processor associated with the automatic speech recognition system and storing the recognition results at least one recognition result memory location associated with the automatic speech recognition system; (c) communicating to the user the multiple recognition results from step (b) via an output device associated with the automatic speech recognition system; (d) receiving from the user an indication that one of the multiple recognition results is incorrect; and (e) populating, with the one incorrect recognition result, at least one digit position of a plurality of digit positions of a rejection reference memory location that is associated with the automatic speech recognition system and that is not the same as the recognition result memory location, wherein the rejection reference memory location is for cross-referencing against the recognition result memory location; (f) receiving from the user another indication that another one of the multiple recognition results is incorrect; (g) clearing the one recognition result from the rejection reference and populating the rejection reference with the another one of the recognition results after receiving the another indication; (h) receiving a correction utterance from the user; and then (i) processing the correction utterance based on the another one of the recognition results being in the rejection reference.
