Apparatus for generating text data on the basis of speech data input from terminal
DCFirst Claim
1. A speech control apparatus connected to a terminal through a communication network, comprising:
- means for receiving speech data transmitted from said terminal;
processing means for recognizing the received speech data, converting the recognized speech data into document data, extracting a specific word from the converted document data, and generating formatted document data having a predetermined format by inserting the extracted word into a specified field of the converted document data; and
transmitting means for transmitting the generated formatted document data through said communication network.

Abstract
A speech signal input from the microphone of a mobile terminal having a PHS function in a communication or off-line state is sent from a PHS network to a speech control host unit connected to a LAN in a specific speech service provider through the Internet and recognized. The contents of the recognition result are automatically determined and shaped into text data of a format type designated from the mobile terminal, and more particularly, into E-mail text data or FAX text data. The formatted text data is returned to the mobile terminal in real time and edited on the mobile terminal as needed. Thereafter, the E-mail text data or FAX text data is transferred to the speech control host unit and transmitted. In this system, the mobile terminal does not require any advanced speech recognition environment and can have a speech recognition function having a practical accuracy at a low cost. The mobile terminal can also be equipped with an E-mail/FAX generation/transmission function based on the speech recognition result.
