SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMBINING GEOGRAPHIC METADATA IN AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION LANGUAGE AND ACOUSTIC MODELS
First Claim
1. A method of using a speech recognition application for directory assistance, the method causing a computing device to perform steps comprising:
- receiving a spoken user search query at a portable device;
determining a present location based on the portable device;
incorporating the present location into a local language model used to process the spoken user search query; and
outputting results associated with the spoken user search query based on the present location and at least one term in the spoken user search query.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for a speech recognition application for directory assistance that is based on a user'"'"'s spoken search query. The spoken search query is received by a portable device and portable device then determines its present location. Upon determining the location of the portable device, that information is incorporated into a local language model that is used to process the search query. Finally, the portable device outputs the results of the search query based on the local language model.
