Voice controlled wireless communication device system
First Claim
1. A voice controlled wireless communication device system comprising:
- a wireless communication device capable of recording a voice command, recited by a user, and executing a software based application resident on the communication device;
one or more server computers capable of communicating with the wireless communication device, comprising at least one server based module for creation of a command to be executed on the communication device;
wherein said software based application communicates the voice command to said server computer; and
wherein the server computer initiates at least one speech recognition process to identify the voice command, constructs an application command based on the voice command and communicates the application command to the wireless communication device; and
wherein said software based application directs the application command communicated from the server computer to the appropriate software based application on the wireless communication device for execution.

Abstract
A wireless communication device is disclosed that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. Likewise, the audio data can be converted into a text file. The audio data is reduced to a digital file in a format that is supported by the device hardware, such as a .wav, .mp3, .vnf file, or the like. The digital file is sent via secured or unsecured wireless communication to one or more server computers for further processing. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the system evaluates the confidence level of the of the speech recognition process. If the confidence level is high, the system automatically builds the application command or creates the text file for transmission to the communication device. Alternatively, if the confidence of the speech recognition is low, the recorded audio data file is routed to a human transcriber employed by the telecommunications service, who manually reviews the digital voice file and builds the application command or text file. Once the application command is created, it is transmitted to the communication device. As a result of the present invention, speech recognition in the context of a communications devices has been shown to be accurate over 90% of the time.
