Application ID: 13802390

Base Claim:
1. A method for vocabulary integration in speech recognition, comprising: converting a plurality of speech signals into a plurality of words using a processor; applying a plurality of confidence scores to the plurality of words; receiving classification criteria for a primary application; classifying the plurality of words into a plurality of classifications to identify a vocabulary application group that the plurality of words belongs to by performing a first classification process based on using the classification criteria for the primary application and the confidence score for each one of the plurality of words; determining one or more unrecognized words of the plurality of words based on the plurality of classifications; receiving additional classification criteria for multiple secondary vocabulary applications for the one or more unrecognized words, wherein the multiple secondary vocabulary applications comprise application specific vocabularies; classifying each of the one or more unrecognized words to identify a vocabulary application group that the one or more unrecognized words belong to by performing a second classification process based on using the received additional classification criteria and confidence scores determined for the one or more unrecognized words; detecting a match for each of the one or more unrecognized words based on the classifying each of the one or more unrecognized words with the received additional classification criteria; and upon detecting a match for an unrecognized word, converting at least a portion of the plurality of speech signals corresponding to the unrecognized word into a plurality of recognized words.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving the plurality of speech signals using an electronic device, wherein a primary vocabulary application is used for converting the plurality of speech signals into the plurality of words; and receiving the additional classification criteria for the multiple secondary vocabulary applications for the one or more unrecognized words, wherein the multiple application specific vocabularies include application specific terms that are integrated with terms from the primary vocabulary application into an automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine.
