Abstract: A user interface for a text-to-phone conversion and the method for correcting the results of the text-to-phone in the user interface are provided. The user interface for the text-to-phone conversion comprises a vocabulary column, a pronunciation column, a category column, and an index column. The vocabulary column is displaying a word having at least one letter. The pronunciation column is displaying a pronunciation corresponding to the word. The category column is displaying a specific source corresponding to the corresponding pronunciation. The index column is displaying a specific confidence score corresponding to the pronunciation. The present invention could highly increase the processing rate and the usage convenience of the correctable interface during the text-to-phone conversion.

Abstract: A speech-controlled shortcut module for an electronic device to edit and execute at least a speech-controlled function item therein is provided. The provided module contains a speech-controlled database storing the at least a speech-controlled function item having a command name being a name of the at least a speech-controlled function item, and a function shortcut storing an execution path of the at least a speech-controlled function item and formed by the electronic device to record at least an option of an hierarchical function menu sequentially selected by a user, wherein when the user inputs a voice command, the electronic device recognizes the voice command and executes a corresponding speech-controlled function item.

Abstract: Disclosed is a voice control method, by which a user may effectively control an electronic device to operate through a voice control input without the situation encountered where a voice control command can sometimes not be received and responded by the electronic device.

Abstract: The text inputting device and inputting method of a mobile communication apparatus are provided in the present invention. The proposed text inputting device includes a keyboard for keying in a code of a word according to the associated character input method, a microphone for inputting a voice according to an automatic speech recognition method, and a microprocessor coupled to the keyboard and the microphone for generating at least a candidate of the word according to the code and for comparing the at least one candidate with the voice according to the automatic speech recognition method so as to choose the word from the at least one candidate.

Abstract: In a voice interactive system, a detecting module detects presence of a predetermined keyword in an input voice signal. When the presence of the predetermined keyword is detected, the detecting module switches operation of a semantic recognition module from a disabled mode to an enabled mode, where the semantic recognition module performs semantic recognition upon the input voice signal. A response module generates a response according to result of the semantic recognition. A timer module operates simultaneously with operation of the semantic recognition module in the enabled mode so as to calculate and determine whether an idle time between a current input voice signal and a previous input voice signal is larger than a predetermined threshold. In the affirmative, a mode switching module enables the detecting module to switch operation of the semantic recognition module back to the disabled mode.
