  • Patent number: 12080271
    Abstract: Computer generated speech can be generated for cross-lingual natural language textual data streams by utilizing a universal phoneme set. In a variety of implementations, the natural language textual data stream includes a primary language portion in a primary language and a secondary language portion that is not in the primary language. Phonemes corresponding to the secondary language portion can be determined from a set of phonemes in a universal data set. These phonemes can be mapped back to a set of phonemes for the primary language. Audio data can be generated for these phonemes to pronounce the secondary language portion of the natural language textual data stream utilizing phonemes associated with the primary language.

  • Patent number: 12067978
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for improvements relating to compressed automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. The ASR system may comprise a compressed acoustic engine and an adaptive decoder. The adaptive decoder may be dynamically compiled based on characteristics of the compressed acoustic engine and a current state of the application device. In some embodiments, a dynamic command list is used to manage context-specific commands. Two or more commands recognized by the adaptive decoder may be confusable due to compression of the ASR system. Alternate commands may be determined that are semantically equivalent but phonetically different than the confusable commands to reduce classification error of the adaptive decoder. An alternate command may replace one or more of the confusable commands in the adaptive decoder. In some embodiments, a user interface is displayed to a user of the ASR system to select the alternate command for replacement in the decoder.
