Abstract: A method for voice recognition to perform an action. The method includes receiving a voice command, identifying a first action intended word from the voice command, assigning a confidence score to the first action intended word, altering the confidence score of the first action intended word in a temporal manner, based on confidence scores of second action intended words following the first action intended word in the voice command, identifying the action when the confidence scores of the first and second action intended words reach a pre-determined confidence score associated therewith, and performing the identified action. Disclosed also is a system for voice recognition to perform an action. The system includes one or more voice-controlled devices, and a voice managing server communicably coupled to the one or more voice-controlled devices. The voice managing server for voice recognition to perform an action using the aforementioned method.
