  • USER DIRECTED ADAPTATION OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE GRAMMER
    Publication number: 20080255835
    Abstract: A method and system for interacting with a speech recognition system. A lattice of candidate words is displayed. The lattice of candidate words may include the output of a speech recognizer. Candidate words representing temporally serial utterances may be directly joined in the lattice. A path through the lattice represents a selection of one or more candidate words interpreting one or more corresponding utterances. An interface allows a user to select a path in the lattice. A selection of the path in the lattice may be received and the selection may be stored. The selection may be provided as positive feedback to the speech recognizer.
