Using speech processing technologies for verification sequence instances
First Claim
1. A method for verifying a sequential sequence comprising:
- initializing a verification sequence instance, said instance sequence comprising a plurality of sequentially linked verification points;
presenting a computer produced speech prompt for one of the verification points;
receiving a speech response for the verification point from a verifier;
automatically converting the speech response to text response;
storing the text response in a response log for the verification sequence instance;
determining a next verification point in the verification sequence instance; and
repeating the presenting, receiving, converting, and storing steps until the verification sequence instance is complete.

Abstract
A method for verifying sequential steps using speech processing technologies can include a step of initializing a verification sequence instance. The instance sequence can include one or more sequentially linked verification points. A computer produced speech prompt can be presented for one of the verification points. A speech response can be received from a verifier for the verification point. The speech response can be automatically converted to a text response. The text response can be stored in a response log for the verification sequence instance. The next verification point in the verification sequence instance can be determined. The presenting, receiving, converting, and storing steps can be performed for the new verification point. This method can be repeated until the verification sequence instance is complete.

12. A software method comprising the step of:
-
audibly presenting a plurality of speech prompts corresponding to a plurality of sequenced verification points, for each verification point, said speech prompts specifying an action that a verifier is to take for that verification point;
for each verification point, receiving a speech response corresponding to a status of the action; and
generating a log recording status information for each verification point. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for verification sequence instances comprising:
-
a sequence server configured to manage a plurality of verification sequence instances and configured to store a plurality of instance logs, wherein each verification sequence instance comprises a plurality of verification points, each verification point having an associated action that a verifier is to take for that verification point;
a sequence client communicatively linked to the sequence server, said sequence client including a speech interface through which a speech prompts specifying the associated actions are presented to a verifier and through which speech responses corresponding to a status for each action are received; and
at least one speech processing engine configured to speech-to-text convert the speech responses, wherein for each completed verification sequence instance speech responses are received for each verification point for which a speech prompt was generated, wherein for each completed verification sequence instance, a textually converted form of the speech responses is stored within a data store accessible by the sequence server as part of an instance log.
