Ordering recognition results produced by an automatic speech recognition engine for a multimodal application
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of ordering recognition results produced by an automatic speech recognition (‘
- ASR’
) engine for a multimodal application, the method implemented with a grammar of the multimodal application in the ASR engine, with the multimodal application operating in a multimodal browser on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application operatively coupled to the ASR engine through a VoiceXML interpreter, the method comprising;
receiving, in the VoiceXML interpreter from the multimodal application, a voice utterance;
determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter using the ASR engine, a plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the voice utterance and the grammar;
determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter according to semantic interpretation scripts of the grammar, a weight for each recognition result; and
sorting, by the VoiceXML interpreter, the plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the weight for each recognition result.

Abstract
Ordering recognition results produced by an automatic speech recognition (‘ASR’) engine for a multimodal application implemented with a grammar of the multimodal application in the ASR engine, with the multimodal application operating in a multimodal browser on a multimodal device supporting multiple modes of interaction including a voice mode and one or more non-voice modes, the multimodal application operatively coupled to the ASR engine through a VoiceXML interpreter, includes: receiving, in the VoiceXML interpreter from the multimodal application, a voice utterance; determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter using the ASR engine, a plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the voice utterance and the grammar; determining, by the VoiceXML interpreter according to semantic interpretation scripts of the grammar, a weight for each recognition result; and sorting, by the VoiceXML interpreter, the plurality of recognition results in dependence upon the weight for each recognition result.
