  • Adaptive context sensitive analysis
    Patent number: 7548863
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that converts input data, such as speech or phonetic characters, to text by finding documents that are similar to the input data and using the similar documents to create a customized dictionary including a weighted list of words found in the similar documents. The words that are weighted higher may have a higher probability of being used in the input data, so words in the converted text are chosen based on the weighted list.
