Program product, method and system for detecting reduced speech
First Claim
1. A program product for speech recognition, comprising machine-readable program code for causing, when executed, a machine to perform the following method:
- detecting at least one speech element in an utterance of acoustic data which meets a criteria for potentially being reduced;
presenting at least a portion of the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, training an acoustic model for a reduced form of the speech element using data related to the utterance.

Abstract
A program product, system and method for speech recognition, the program product comprising machine-readable program code for causing, when executed, a machine to perform the following method: detecting at least one speech element in an utterance of acoustic data which meets a criteria for potentially being reduced; presenting at least a portion of the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and if the user verifies that a speech element in the utterance is reduced, training an acoustic model for a reduced form of the speech element using data related to the utterance.

14. A program product for speech recognition, comprising machine-readable program code for causing, when executed, a machine to perform the following method:
-
receiving a training utterance of acoustic data of a word sequence;
detecting if the training utterance of acoustic data has at least one speech element which meets a criterion for potentially being reduced;
presenting the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, then associating a reduced designation with the speech element in the training utterance designated as reduced. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A speech recognition process, comprising:
-
detecting at least one speech element in an utterance of acoustic data which meets a criteria for potentially being reduced;
presenting at least a portion of the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, training a discrimination model using data related to the utterance. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A speech recognition method, comprising:
-
receiving a training utterance of acoustic data of a word sequence;
detecting if the training utterance of acoustic data has at least one speech element which meets a criterion for potentially being reduced;
presenting the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, then associating a reduced designation with the speech element in the training utterance designated as reduced. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A speech recognition system, comprising:
-
a detector for receiving at least one speech element in an utterance of acoustic data which meets a criteria for potentially being reduced;
a presentation device for presenting at least a portion of the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
a computer training device that, if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, trains an acoustic model for a reduced form of the speech element using data related to the utterance. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

56. A speech recognition system, comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving a training utterance of acoustic data of a word sequence;
a detector for detecting if the training utterance of acoustic data has at least one speech element which meets a criterion for potentially being reduced;
a presentation device for presenting the utterance of acoustic data to a user with a prompt to determine if the speech element is reduced; and
logic for, if verification data is received from the user that the speech element in the utterance is reduced, then associating a reduced designation with the speech element in the training utterance designated as reduced. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)
