CONFIGURABLE SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE RECOGNIZERS
First Claim
1. A method of performing speech recognition in a distributed speech recognition system comprising an electronic device including an embedded speech recognizer and a network device including a remote speech recognizer remote from the electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the electronic device, input audio comprising speech;
transmitting at least a portion of the input audio to the network device for processing by the remote speech recognizer;
processing, by the embedded speech recognizer, at least a portion of the input audio to produce a local speech recognition result; and
performing a partial action, based, at least in part, on the local speech recognition result.

Abstract
Techniques for combining the results of multiple recognizers in a distributed speech recognition architecture. Speech data input to a client device is encoded and processed both locally and remotely by different recognizers configured to be proficient at different speech recognition tasks. The client/server architecture is configurable to enable network providers to specify a policy directed to a trade-off between reducing recognition latency perceived by a user and usage of network resources. The results of the local and remote speech recognition engines are combined based, at least in part, on logic stored by one or more components of the client/server architecture.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor on an electronic device in a distributed speech recognition system comprising the electronic device having an embedded speech recognizer and a network device having a remote speech recognizer remote from the electronic device, perform a method comprising:
-
receiving, by the electronic device, input audio comprising speech; transmitting at least a portion of the input audio to the network device for processing by the remote speech recognizer; processing, by the embedded speech recognizer, at least a portion of the input audio to produce a local speech recognition result; and performing a partial action, based, at least in part, on the local speech recognition result. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
