First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle navigation system that generates a text message comprising:
- an input configured to receive a speech signal corresponding to the text message;
a speech recognizer in communication with the input and configured to analyze the speech signal and recognize text of the speech signal;
a speech database in communication with the speech recognizer that provides the speech recognizer with samples of recognized digital speech for recognizing the text of the speech signal;
a message generator in communication with the speech recognizer that generates the text message based on the text of the speech signal recognized by the speech recognizer; and
a transmitter in communication with the message generator and configured to transmit the text message over a network.

Abstract
A vehicle navigation system may send and receive communications, such as text messages. Speech recognition may generate a text message without affecting a driver'"'"'s control of the vehicle. A user may audibly control the navigation system and generate a text message through a speech recognition element. A microphone may record a user'"'"'s voice, which is then transformed into a text message for transmission. The message may be recorded sentence-by-sentence, word-by-word, or letter-by-letter. The recorded text message may be visually or audibly presented to the user before transmission.
