10. A speech recognition server comprising:
-
a network interface configured to receive a request;
an identification of a speaker associated with each request;
speaker dependent signature data structures stored in the speech recognition server; and
means for generating a response including speaker-dependent voice recognition resources in response to the received request. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28)

18. A speech recognition system comprising:
-
a centralized resource of shared, speaker-dependent speech recognition resources;
two or more applications having processes for receiving a voice signal and communicating with the centralized resource over a network to perform speech recognition on the voice signal.

25. A speech-enabled software application comprising:
-
a first interface for receiving a voice signal from a speaker;
a second interface for sending the voice signal over a network to a centralized speech recognition server;
a third interface for receiving phoneme probabilities from the speech recognition server corresponding to the voice signal; and
processes for converting using the phoneme probabilities to launch speech-enabled functions for the speaker

26. A method of creating a speech sample database comprising:
-
accepting a voice recognition task at an application;
communicating the voice recognition task to a centralized resource;
performing the voice recognition task at a the centralized resource;
causing the application to evaluate correctness of the speech recognition; and
storing the speech sample from the task with its recognition result in a speech sample database.
