System and method for speech recognition and transcription
First Claim
1. A method for speech recognition, comprising:
- receiving digital data representation of speech having at least one word;
searching a library containing digital data representation of a plurality of words and matching the digital data representation of the at least one word to digital data representation of a word in the library;
determining the number of syllables in the digital data representation of the at least one word; and
providing an ASCII representation of the matched word in response to the number of syllables of the at least one word being identical to the number of syllables of the matched word in the library.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a method and system for speech recognition. The method includes the steps of receiving digital data representation of speech having at least one word, which includes a waveform representation of the at least one word. The method includes searching a library containing digital data representation of a plurality of words and matching the digital data representation of the at least one word to digital data representation of a word in the library. The method further includes the steps of determining the number of syllables in the digital data representation of the at least one word, and then providing an ASCII representation of the matched word in response to the number of syllables of the at least one word being identical to the number of syllables of the matched word in the library.

10. A method for speech recognition, comprising:
-
receiving digital waveform data representation of continuous speech having at least one word;
searching a library containing digital waveform data representation of a plurality of words and matching the digital waveform data representation of the at least one word to digital waveform data representation of a word in the library by matching at least waveform frequency, period and amplitude of the digital waveform data representation of the at least one word to waveform frequency, period and amplitude of the digital waveform data representation of words in the library;
determining the number of syllables in the digital waveform data representation of the at least one word; and
providing an ASCII representation of the matched word in the library in response to the number of syllables of the at least one word being identical to the number of syllables of the matched word in the library. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A speech recognition system, comprising:
-
a digital representation of a user'"'"'s spoken speech;
a waveform matching process operable to receive the digital speech representation and match waveform characteristics thereof to characteristics of model waveforms stored in a library, the matched model waveform each having an ASCII representation associated with each word in the spoken speech;
a syllable matching process operable to receive the digital speech representation and determine the number of syllables in each word in the spoken speech and verify the matched model waveform;
a display screen operable to display the ASCII representation of the matched model waveform. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
