Patent number: 7937263Abstract: The present invention pertains to a system and method for the tokenization of text. The featurizer may be configured to receive input text and convert the input text into tokens. According to one aspect of the invention, the tokens may include only one type of character, the characters selected from the group consisting of letters, numbers, and punctuation. The tokenizer may also include a classifier. The classifier may be configured to receive the tokens from the featurizer. Furthermore, the classifier may be configured to analyze the tokens received from the featurizer to determine if the tokens may be input into a predetermined classification model using a preclassifier. If one of the tokens passes the preclassifier, then the token is classified using the predetermined classification model. Additionally, according to a first aspect of the invention, the tokenizer may also include a finalizer. The finalizer may be configured to receive the tokens and may be configured to produce a final output.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2004Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Dictaphone CorporationInventors: Jill Carrier, Alwin B. Carus, William F. Cote, John Dowd, Kathryn Del La Femina, Alan Frankel, Wensheng(Vincent) Han, Larissa Lapshina, Bernardo Rechea, Ana Santisteban, Amy J. Uhrbach

Patent number: 7860717Abstract: A system and method may be disclosed for facilitating the site-specific customization of automated speech recognition systems by providing a customization client for site-specific individuals to update and modify language model input files and post processor input files. In customizing the input files, the customization client may provide a graphical user interface for facilitating the inclusion of words specific to a particular site. The customization client may also be configured to provide the user with a series of formatting rules for controlling the appearance and format of a document transcribed by an automated speech recognition system.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Dictaphone CorporationInventors: Amy J. Urhbach, Alan Frankel, Jill Carrier, Ana Santisteban, William F. Cote

Patent number: 7783474Abstract: A system and method for a speech recognition technology that allows language models to be customized through the addition of special pronunciations for components of phrases, which are added to the factory language models during customization. It allows components of a phrase to have different pronunciations inside customer-added phrases than are specified for those isolated components in the factory language models.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: William F. Cote, Jill Carrier

Patent number: 7315811Abstract: A system and method for a speech recognition technology that allows language models for a particular language to be customized through the addition of alternate pronunciations that are specific to the accent of the dictator, for a subset of the words in the language model. The system includes the steps of identifying the pronunciation differences that are best handled by modifying the pronunciations of the language model, identifying target words in the language model for pronunciation modification, and creating a accented speech file used to modify the language model.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Dictaphone CorporationInventors: William F. Cote, Amy J. Uhrbach, Jill Carrier, Wensheng (Vincent) Han
