Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and system for speech recognition. The method includes the steps of receiving digital data representation of speech having at least one word, which includes a waveform representation of the at least one word. The method includes searching a library containing digital data representation of a plurality of words and matching the digital data representation of the at least one word to digital data representation of a word in the library. The method further includes the steps of determining the number of syllables in the digital data representation of the at least one word, and then providing an ASCII representation of the matched word in response to the number of syllables of the at least one word being identical to the number of syllables of the matched word in the library.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for speech recognition comprises receiving a digital representation of speech, grouping the digital representation of speech into subsets, mapping each subset of the digital representation of speech into a character representation of speech, grouping the character representations of speech into words, determining the number of syllables in the digital representation of each word, and searching a library containing words arranged according to the number of syllables and finding at least one closest match to each word.
