Abstract
A method and apparatus for selective speech recognition includes receiving a media file (112) having a media type indicator (114). The method and apparatus further includes a browser (104) that receives the media file and a speech recognition engine selector (106) that receives the media type indicator from the browser (104). The selected speech recognition engine selector (106) then selects either a first speech recognition engine (108) or a second speech recognition engine (110), in response to the media type indicator. The method and apparatus further includes an audio receiver (102) that receives an audio input (116) which is provided to the enabled first speech recognition engine (108) or the second speech recognition engine (110), thereupon allowing for the reduction in power consumption by disabling a speech recognition engine (108 or 110) until actively selected by the speech recognition engine selector (106).
