System and method for processing speech recognition
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a speech utterance from a client device, the speech utterance spoken by a user;
identifying a location associated with the speech utterance;
determining, by accessing a profile of the user, a probability associated with the user and the location, the probability being an expected type of background noise for the user at the location; and
based on the probability, applying a background noise model to recognize the speech utterance.

Abstract
An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system and method is provided for controlling the recognition of speech utterances generated by an end user operating a communications device. The ASR system and method can be used with a mobile device that is used in a communications network. The ASR system can be used for ASR of speech utterances input into a mobile device, to perform compensating techniques using at least one characteristic and for updating an ASR speech recognizer associated with the ASR system by determined and using a background noise value and a distortion value that is based on the features of the mobile device. The ASR system can be used to augment a limited data input capability of a mobile device, for example, caused by limited input devices physically located on the mobile device.
