Recognition architecture for generating Asian characters
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented translation system, comprising:
- a speech recognition component for execution by a processor for outputting an Asian character based on speech input, the speech recognition component operable to switch between multiple writing systems based on a language of the speech input; and
a correction component for;
receiving a user selection of a correction method of one of;
a pronunciation method, a character-in-word method, and a character decomposition method to correct an incorrect recognition result; and
generating a corrected output in a single pass using the selected correction method based on an incorrect output by the speech recognition component, wherein the pronunciation method includes a spelling wizard to present one or more dialog panels to facilitate user interaction vocally and manually for selecting and correcting the incorrect output, the one or more dialog panels presented in response to a voice activated command;
wherein the character-in-word method receives information related to how a word is written by from a user voicing words in which the character is used; and
wherein the character decomposition method receives information related to the constituent part with which the character is composed from a user voicing a word to obtain the character by subcomponents.

Abstract
Architecture for correcting incorrect recognition results in an Asian language speech recognition system. A spelling mode can be launched in response to receiving speech input, the spelling mode for correcting incorrect spelling of the recognition results or generating new words. Correction can be obtained using speech and/or manual selection and entry. The architecture facilitates correction in a single pass, rather than multiples times as in conventional systems. Words corrected using the spelling mode are corrected as a unit and treated as a word. The spelling mode applies to languages of at least the Asian continent, such as Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and/or other Asian languages such as Japanese.

8. A computer-implemented method of recognizing speech, comprising:
-
recognizing by a processor Asian voice signals to output a result; switching between multiple writing systems based on a language of the Asian voice signals; receiving a user selection of a correction method of one of;
a pronunciation method, a character-in-word method, and a character decomposition method to a user to correct an incorrect recognition result;entering a spelling/correction mode to correct spelling of the result using the selected correction method, wherein the pronunciation method includes a spelling wizard to present one or more dialog panels to facilitate user interaction vocally and manually for selecting and correcting the result, the one or more dialog panels presented in response to a voice activated command, wherein the character-in-word method receives information related to how a word is written from a user voicing words in which the character is used, and wherein the character decomposition method receives information related to the constituent part with which the character is composed from a user voicing a word to obtain the character by subcomponents; and correcting the spelling of the result in a single pass based on the selected method. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
-
computer-implemented means for recognizing Asian voice signals to output a result; computer-implemented means for switching between multiple writing systems based on a language of the Asian voice signals; computer-implemented means for receiving a user selection of a correction method of one of;
a pronunciation method, a character-in-word method, and a character decomposition method to a user, to correct an incorrect recognition result;computer-implemented means for entering a spelling/correction mode to correct spelling of the result according to the selection, wherein the pronunciation method includes a spelling wizard to present one or more dialog panels to facilitate user interaction vocally and manually for selecting and correcting the result, the one or more dialog panels presented in response to a voice activated command, wherein the character-in-word method receives information related to how a word is written from a user voicing words in which the character is used, and wherein the character decomposition method receives information related to the constituent part with which the character is composed from a user voicing a word to obtain the character by subcomponents; computer-implemented means for performing a key word search; and computer-implemented means for correcting the spelling of the result in a single pass based on the selected method.
