Application ID: 13364144

Base Claim:
1. A method comprising: identifying a position-dependent phonetic description of each word in a word language model, each position-dependent phonetic description comprising at least one position-dependent phonetic token, each position-dependent phonetic token comprising a phone and a position identifier that identifies a position within a syllable; a processor using probabilities for words and probabilities for sequences of words in the word language model to set probabilities for position-dependent phonetic tokens and probabilities for sequences of position-dependent tokens to construct a position-dependent phonetic language model; and the processor storing the position-dependent phonetic language model.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 wherein setting probabilities comprises developing within-word counts for position-dependent phonetic tokens and for sequences of position-dependent phonetic tokens that are bounded within individual words based on unigram probabilities of the words that the position-dependent phonetic tokens are bound within.
