  • Patent number: 9711138
    Abstract: A method for building a language model, a speech recognition method and an electronic apparatus are provided. The speech recognition method includes the following steps. Phonetic transcriptions of a speech signal are obtained from an acoustic model. Phonetic spellings matching the phonetic transcriptions are obtained according to the phonetic transcriptions and a syllable acoustic lexicon. According to the phonetic spellings, a plurality of text sequences and a plurality of text sequence probabilities are obtained from a language model. Each phonetic spelling is matched to a candidate sentence table; a word probability of each phonetic spelling matching a word in a sentence of the sentence table are obtained; and the word probabilities of the phonetic spellings are calculated so as to obtain the text sequence probabilities. The text sequence corresponding to a largest one of the sequence probabilities is selected as a recognition result of the speech signal.

  • Patent number: 9466295
    Abstract: A natural language dialog system and a method capable of correcting a speech response are provided. The method includes following steps. A first speech input is received. At least one keyword included in the first speech input is parsed to obtain a candidate list having at least one report answers. One of the report answers is selected from the candidate list as a first report answer, and a first speech response is output according to the first report answer. A second speech input is received and parsed to determine whether the first report answer is correct.

  • Patent number: 9153232
    Abstract: A voice control device and a corresponding voice control method are provided. The voice control device includes a sound receiver, a sound converter, a voice identifier, and a central processing unit (CPU). The sound receiver receives a first sound signal. The sound converter converts the first sound signal from analog signal to digital signal. The voice identifier identifies a first voice signal from the first sound signal, performs a first comparison on the first voice signal and a second voice signal, and generates a wake-up signal according to the first comparison. When receiving the wake-up signal, the CPU enters a working state from a sleeping state, performs a second comparison on the first voice signal and the second voice signal, and takes over the voice input from the sound receiver and the sound converter according to the second comparison.
