Patent number: 9123339Abstract: Subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, computer program products and systems relating to speech-to-text conversion. A first spoken input is received from a user of an electronic device (an “original utterance”). Based on the original utterance, a first set of character string candidates are determined that each represent the original utterance converted to textual characters and a selection of one or more of the character string candidates are provided in a format for display to the user. A second spoken input is received from the user and a determination is made that the second spoken input is a repeat utterance of the original utterance. Based on this determination and using the original utterance and the repeat utterance, a second set of character string candidates is determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Hayden Shaw, Trausti Kristjansson, Andrew W.
