Abstract: A method of speech recognition is described for use with mobile devices. A portion of an initial speech recognition result is presented on the mobile device including a set of general alternate recognition hypotheses associated with the portion of the speech recognition result. A key input representative of one or more associated letters is received from the user. The user is provided with a set of restricted alternate recognition hypotheses starting with the one or more letters associated with the key input. Then a user selection is accepted of one of the restricted alternate recognition hypotheses to represent a corrected speech recognition result.

Abstract: A method of speech recognition is described for use with mobile user devices. A speech signal representative of input speech is forwarded from a mobile user device to a remote server. At the mobile user device, a speech recognition result representative of the speech signal is received from the remote server. The speech recognition result includes alternate recognition hypotheses associated with one or more portions of the speech recognition result. A user correction selection representing a portion of the speech recognition result is obtained from the user. The user is presented with selected alternate recognition hypotheses associated with the user correction selection. A user chosen one of the selected alternate recognition hypotheses is substituted for the user correction selection to form a corrected speech recognition result.
