  • Updating standard patterns of words in a voice recognition dictionary
    Patent number: 8438027
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to conveniently increase standard patterns registered in a voice recognition device to efficiently extend the amount of words that can be voice-recognized. New standard patterns are generated by modifying a part of an existing standard pattern. A pattern matching unit 16 of a modifying-part specifying unit 14 performs pattern matching process to specify a part to be modified in the existing standard pattern of a usage source. A standard pattern generating unit 18 generates the new standard patterns by cutting or deleting voice data of the modifying part of the usage-source standard pattern, substituting the voice data of the modifying part of the usage-source standard pattern for another voice data, or combining the voice data of the modifying part of the usage-source standard pattern with another voice data. A standard pattern database update unit 20 adds the new standard patterns to a standard pattern database 24.
