17. An electronic device for carrying out at least part of a speech to text conversion procedure, comprising:
-
a processing or data transfer means for obtaining at least partial speech to text conversion result including a converted portion, such as one or more words or sentences, which comprises multiple, two or more, user-selectable conversion result options, an audio output means, and optionally a visual and/or tactile means, for reproducing audibly one or more of said options for said portion, and a control input means for communicating a user selection of one of the multiple user-selectable options so as to enable confirming a desired conversion result for said portion, wherein said electronic device is configured to organize the multiple options for audible reproduction based on the probability thereof in decreasing order of probability. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

21. A server for carrying out at least part of speech to text conversion, the server being operable in a communications network, the server comprising:
-
a data input means for receiving digital data representing a speech signal, at least part of a speech recognition engine for obtaining at least partial speech to text conversion result including a converted portion, such as one or more words or sentences, deemed as uncertain according to predetermined criterion and comprising multiple, two or more, conversion result options, wherein the options are organized for reproduction based on the probability thereof in decreasing order of probability, and a data output means for communicating the conversion result and at least indication of the options to a terminal device and triggering the terminal device to reproduce audibly one or more of said options so as to enable confirming a desired conversion result for the portion by the user of the terminal device in response to the reproduction. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 35)
