  • Method and apparatus for effectively receiving voice input to a voice recognition system
    Patent number: 5033088
    Abstract: Processing voice information is performed to complete a task with minimal human intervention. Information received by the automated system from the caller is fed into a speech recognition system, which attempts to recognize the information. The caller's input also is recorded by a recording device. The task is completed if the information is reliably recognized. If the information is not reliably recognized, the speech recognition system optionally requests that the information be repeated. The repeated information is received by the system, and the speech recognition system again attempts to identify the information. The task is completed if the repeated information is reliably recognized.
