  • Patent number: 8219399
    Abstract: Techniques are described related to tiles of automated speech recognition data. In an implementation, automated speech recognition (ASR) data is obtained. The ASR data is divided into a plurality of tiles based on an approximate amount of data to be included in each tile. Each of the tiles is a partition of the ASR data.

  • Publication number: 20090182562
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a dynamic user interface for a position-determining device that may account for a variety of input modes. In one example, a position-determining device is initiated in a first input mode (e.g., a touch screen mode) and a graphical user interface (GUI) of the device is configured to accept input via the first input mode. The position-determining device then receives an indication to switch to a second input mode (e.g., a speech input mode) and the GUI is configured to receive input via the second input mode. The position-determining device can dynamically transition between GUI configurations based on a plurality of input modes.

  • Publication number: 20090018842
    Abstract: Techniques are described to create a context for use in automated speech recognition. In an implementation, a determination is made as to which data received by a position-determining device is selectable to initiate one or more functions of the position-determining device, wherein at least one of the functions relates to position-determining functionality. A dynamic context is generated to include one or more phrases taken from the data based on the determination. An audio input is translated by the position-determining device using one or more said phrases from the dynamic context.

  • Publication number: 20080208445
    Abstract: Route shaping systems and methods determine a route from a current location through a shape location to a destination. An area of interest is determined for the shape location, and a highest road class for road segments through the interest area is identified. A route is calculated from a starting location through the interest area to the destination, and the route includes a selected road segment through the interest area with the highest road class.
