Patent number: 9711138Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: VIA Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Guo-Feng Zhang
