Abstract

A construction and display of speech commands system that allows a user to simply read what is on an application that involves visual elements with which the user interacts, and in doing so, gives the appropriate commands to the speech recognition system for the task at hand. The construction and display of speech commands system may include a speech recognition system, a grammar builder module, and a speech enablement module. The construction and display of speech commands system may automatically generate a speech enabled application from generated speech grammar.

Claims

1. A construction and display of speech commands system comprising:

a speech recognition system;

a centralized server;

a grammar builder module; and

a speech enablement module;

wherein the grammar builder module parses content of an application to generate speech grammar;

wherein the speech enablement module processes grammar rules to modify said content to conform to said grammar rules;

wherein the construction and display of speech commands system generates a speech enabled application from said generated speech grammar; and

wherein the speech recognition system, centralized server, grammar builder module, speech enablement module are integrated with each other.

2. The construction and display of speech commands system of claim 1 wherein the application is a web page.

3. The construction and display of speech commands system of claim 1 wherein the generated speech grammar and speech enabled application is stored in a flat file.

4. The construction and display of speech commands system of claim 1 wherein the generated speech grammar and speech enabled application is stored in a repository.

5. The construction and display of speech commands system of claim 1 wherein the system comprises a speech recognition performance module, wherein said speech recognition performance module adjusts visual labels of said application based on a speech recognition performance ratio.

6. The construction and display of speech commands system of claim 5 wherein the speech recognition performance ratio is generated from a recognition hit percentage and an accuracy threshold.

7. A construction and display of speech commands method comprising:

parsing content of an application to generate speech grammar via a grammar builder module;

processing grammar rules to modify said content to conform to said grammar rules via a speech enablement module; and

generating a speech enabled application from said generated speech grammar; and

8. The construction and display of speech commands method of claim 7 wherein the application is a web page.

9. The construction and display of speech commands method of claim 7 wherein the generated speech grammar and speech enabled application is stored in a flat file.

10. The construction and display of speech commands method of claim 7 wherein the generated speech grammar and speech enabled application is stored in a repository.

11. The construction and display of speech commands method of claim 7 comprising adjusting visual labels of said application based on a speech recognition performance ratio.

12. The construction and display of speech commands method of claim 11 wherein the speech recognition performance ratio is generated from a recognition hit percentage and an accuracy threshold.
