Abstract: A method of providing hands-free services using a mobile device having wireless access to computer-based services includes receiving speech in a vehicle from a vehicle occupant; recording the speech using a mobile device; transmitting the recorded speech from the mobile device to a cloud speech service; receiving automatic speech recognition (ASR) results from the cloud speech service at the mobile device; and comparing the recorded speech with the received ASR results at the mobile device to identify one or more error conditions.

Abstract: A media delivery system offers a low-cost consumer alternative to traditional media delivery offerings and provides fully selectable and controllable media to consumers through a personal media device. Media suppliers in the system provide and manage the content in a data center through a supplier management system. The system profiles consumers and their behaviors as they interact with the system, and the personal media device is operable to exchange profiling data with a data warehouse in the data center. Information derived from the data warehouse is, in turn, utilized by the media suppliers to create revenue streams, increase internal knowledge, and optimize internal processes.
