First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of automatic speech recognition (ASR), comprising:
- providing a plurality of categories for different speech utterances;
assigning a different ASR engine to each category;
receiving a first speech utterance from a first user;
classifying the first speech utterance into one of the categories; and
selecting the ASR engine assigned to the category to which the first speech utterance is classified to automatically recognize the first speech utterance.

8. An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system comprising:
-
means for processing a digital input signal from an utterance of a user;
means for extracting information from the input signal; and
means for selecting a best performing ASR engine from a group of different ASR engines to recognize the utterance of the user, wherein the means for selecting a best performing ASR engine utilizes the extracted information to select the best performing ASR engine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
