METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING MODEL OF RECOGNIZING ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION VARIATION
First Claim
1. A method of constructing a model of recognizing English pronunciation variations, for recognizing English pronunciations with intonations influenced by different native languages, the method at least comprising:
- providing a plurality of English expressions and at least one phonetic alphabet corresponding to each of the English expressions, and collecting a plurality of corresponding sound information according to the phonetic alphabet of the English expression;
corresponding phonetic alphabets of the native language and English to a plurality of international phonetic alphabets (IPAs), so as to form a plurality of pronunciation models;
converting the sound information of each of the English expressions by using the pronunciation models, and constructing a pronunciation variation network corresponding to the English expression with reference to the phonetic alphabet of the English expression, so as to detect whether the English expression has a pronunciation variation path; and
summarizing the pronunciation variation paths to form a plurality of pronunciation variation rules.

Abstract
A method of constructing a model of recognizing English pronunciation variations is used to recognize English pronunciations with different intonations influenced by native languages. The method includes collecting a plurality of sound information corresponding to English expressions; corresponding phonetic alphabets of the native language and English of a region to International Phonetic Alphabets (IPAs), so as to form a plurality of pronunciation models; converting the sound information with the pronunciation models to form a pronunciation variation network of the corresponding English expressions, thereby detecting whether the English expressions have pronunciation variation paths; and finally summarizing the pronunciation variation paths to form a plurality of pronunciation variation rules. Furthermore, the pronunciation variations are represented by phonetics features to infer possible pronunciation variation rules, which are stored to form pronunciation variation models. The construction of the pronunciation variation models enhances applicability of an English recognition system and accuracy of voice recognition.
