First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user in which at least one computer system accesses instructions from computer storage and executes the instructions comprising steps of:
- identifying without user interaction one or more sources of non-verbal, electronically embedded, and previously created text that is related to the user and that is located only on a user'"'"'s personal storage, the identified sources of text comprising at least one email sent by the user;
retrieving text from the identified one or more sources of text; and
building a user-specific language model related to the user using only the retrieved text from the identified one or more sources of previously created text that is related to the user and is located only on the user'"'"'s personal storage.

Abstract
Building a language model for use in speech recognition includes identifying without user interaction a source of text related to a user. Text is retrieved from the identified source of text and a language model related to the user is built from the retrieved text.

14. A method for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user in which at least one computer system accesses instructions from computer storage and executes the instructions comprising steps of:
-
identifying without user interaction a source of text created by the user, the identified source of text comprising at least one email sent by the user; retrieving text from the identified source of text; building a user-specific language model related to the user using only the retrieved text; scanning the retrieved text to identify words from the text that are not included in a vocabulary of words; displaying the identified words to the user; prompting the user to select words to be included in the vocabulary; and adding words selected by the user to the vocabulary.

15. A computer program for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user, the computer program described according to computer code stored on a computer readable storage medium, the computer code comprising:
-
an identifying code segment that causes a computer to identify without user interaction one or more sources of non-verbal, electronically embedded, and previously created text that is related to the user and that is located only on a user'"'"'s personal storage; a retrieving code segment that causes the computer to retrieve text from the identified one or more sources of text, the identified sources of text comprising at least one email sent by the user; and a building code segment that causes the computer to build a user-specific language model related to the user using only the retrieved text from the identified one or more sources of previously created text that is related to the user and that is located only on the user'"'"'s personal storage. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A computer program for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user, the computer program described according to computer code stored on a computer readable storage medium, the computer code comprising:
-
an identifying code segment that causes a computer to identify without user interaction a source of text created by the user, the source of text comprising at least one email sent by the user; a retrieving code segment that causes the computer to retrieve text from the identified source of text; a building code segment that causes the computer to build a user-specific language model related to the user using only the retrieved text; a scanning code segment that causes the computer to scan the retrieved text to identify words from the text that are not included in a vocabulary of words; a displaying code segment that causes the computer to display the identified words to the user; a prompting code segment that causes the computer to prompt the user to select words to be included in the vocabulary; and an adding code segment that causes the computer to add words selected by the user to the vocabulary.

25. A system for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user, comprising:
-
means for identifying without user interaction one or more sources of non-verbal, electronically embedded, and previously created text that is related to the user and that is located only on a user'"'"'s personal storage, the identified sources of text comprising at least one email sent by the user; means for retrieving text from the identified one or more sources of text; and means for building a user-specific language model related to the user using only the retrieved text from the identified one or more sources of previously created text that is related to the user and that is located only on the user'"'"'s personal storage.

26. A method for building a user-specific language model for use in speech recognition by a user in which at least one computer system accesses instructions from computer storage and executes the instructions comprising steps of:
-
identifying without user interaction sources of non-verbal and electronically embedded text related to the user and located only on a user'"'"'s personal storages, the identified sources of text comprising at least one email sent by the user; retrieving text from the identified sources of text; and building a language model related to the user using only the retrieved text from the identified sources of text related to that user and located only on the user'"'"'s personal storage. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
