  • Automatic analysis of a speech dictated document
    Patent number: 6345249
    Abstract: A method for automatically analyzing a document in a speech recognition system having a vocabulary and language model can include the steps of: determining whether the document has undergone previous analysis; undoing the previous analysis; and, analyzing the document. More specifically, the determining step comprises the steps of: comparing trigrams in the document with trigrams in the language model; and, setting a reference point containing document data for undoing a previous analysis in the undoing step if the compared language model contains all the document trigrams. Moreover, the undoing step comprises the step of removing from the language model each trigram contained in the document data in the reference point.
