  • Patent number: 9947321
    Abstract: Methods and systems for handling speech recognition processing in effectively real-time, via the Internet, in order that users do not experience noticeable delays from the start until they receive responsive feedback. A user uses a client to access the Internet and a server supporting speech recognition processing. The user inputs speech to the client, which transmits the user speech to the server in approximate real-time. The server evaluates the user speech, and provides responsive feedback to the client, again, in approximate real-time, with minimum latency delays. The client upon receiving responsive feedback from the server, displays, or otherwise provides, the feedback to the user.

  • Patent number: 9111541
    Abstract: Methods and systems for handling speech recognition processing in effectively real-time, via the Internet, in order that users do not experience noticeable delays from the start until they receive responsive feedback. A user uses a client to access the Internet and a server supporting speech recognition processing. The user inputs speech to the client, which transmits the user speech to the server in approximate real-time. The server evaluates the user speech using processing level based on the value received from each client.

  • Patent number: 8401850
    Abstract: Methods and systems for handling speech recognition processing in effectively real-time, via the Internet, in order that users do not experience noticeable delays from the start of an exercise until they receive responsive feedback. A user uses a client to access the Internet and a server supporting speech recognition processing, e.g., for language learning activities. The user inputs speech to the client, which transmits the user speech to the server in approximate real-time. The server evaluates the user speech in context of the current speech recognition exercise being executed. The server receives a first value and a first packet of encoded speech from a first client, a second value and a second packet of encoded speech from a second client, and services the first and second packets using first and second levels of processing based on the first and second values.

  • Patent number: 7869995
    Abstract: A system receives a first value and packets of encoded audio speech from a first client. The system receives a second value and packets of encoded audio speech from a second client. Based on the first value, the system services the packets of encoded audio speech from the first client using a first processing level. Based on the second value, the system services the packets of encoded audio speech from the second client using a second processing level, which is different from the first processing level.
