1. A method of speech recognition for a speech recognition system operating on a computer system, comprising the steps of:
- the speech recognition system generating a language model with embedded structure and attached data values;
the speech recognition system receiving a sound signal;
the speech recognition system processing the sound signal to extract speech features;
the speech recognition system comparing and matching the speech features to the language model for generating a recognition result having the embedded structure and attached data values of the language model for those portions of the language model matched to the speech features.

Abstract
A speech recognition system operating on a computer system, where the speech recognition system uses a language model with embedded structure and attached data values, and the speech recognition system returns recognition results as a reconstructed language model with embedded structure and attached data values. An application program can receive and traverse the embedded structure of the recognition results and use the attached data values to improve the speed and accuracy of interpretation of the speech recognition results.

3. A method of speech recognition for a speech recognition system operating on a computer system which receives a sound signal and produces a recognition result, comprising the steps of:
-
the speech recognition system generating a language model having an embedded structure in which language model elements are held, and having data values attached to the elements of the language model; the speech recognition system receiving the sound signal; the speech recognition system processing the sound signal to extract speech features; the speech recognition system comparing the speech features to the language model to identify portions of the language model matched by the speech features; and the speech recognition system generating the recognition result, by including within the recognition result the embedded structure and attached data values of the language model for the portions of the language model matched by the speech features. - View Dependent Claims (4)
