  • Apparatus, method and system for cross-speaker speech recognition for telecommunication applications
    Patent number: 6438520
    Abstract: The apparatus, method and system of the present invention provide for cross-speaker speech recognition, and are particularly suited for telecommunication applications such as automatic name (voice) dialing, message management, call return management, and incoming call screening. The method of the present invention includes receiving incoming speech, such as an incoming caller name, and generating a phonetic transcription of the incoming speech with a speaker-independent, hidden Markov model having an unconstrained grammar in which any phoneme may follow any other phoneme, followed by determining a transcription parameter as a likelihood of fit of the incoming speech to the speaker-independent model.
