Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementation of real-time speech recognition using a handheld computing apparatus are provided. The handheld computing apparatus receives an audio signal, such as a user's voice. The handheld computing apparatus ultimately transmits the voice data to a remote or distal computing device with greater processing power and operating a speech recognition software application, the speech recognition software application processes the signal and outputs a set of instructions for implementation either by the computing device or the handheld apparatus. The instructions can include a variety of items including instructing the presentation of a textual representation of dictation, or a function or command to be executed by the handheld device (such as linking to a website, opening a file, cutting, pasting, saving, or other file menu type functionalities), or by the computing device itself.

Abstract: A system and method provide acoustic training of a voice or speech recognition engine and/or voice or speech recognition software application. Instead of requiring a user to read from a prepared or predetermined script, the system and method described herein enable acoustic training using any free text spoken phrases provided by the user directly, or by a previously recorded speech, presentation, or the like, performed by the user.
