  • Method and system for automatically providing linguistic formulations that are outside a recognition domain of an automatic speech recognition system
    Patent number: 9224391
    Abstract: A method for automatically providing a hypothesis of a linguistic formulation that is uttered by users of a voice service based on an automatic speech recognition system and that is outside a recognition domain of the automatic speech recognition system. The method includes providing a constrained and an unconstrained speech recognition from an input speech signal, identifying a part of the constrained speech recognition outside the recognition domain, identifying a part of the unconstrained speech recognition corresponding to the identified part of the constrained speech recognition, and providing the linguistic formulation hypothesis based on the identified part of the unconstrained speech recognition.
