Updating speech recognition models for contacts
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing a contact record for a contact, wherein the content record includes a textual representation of a name of the contact;
obtaining an audio recording of the name of the contact;
generating an update to a speaker-dependent speech recognition model associated with the contact using the audio recording of the name of the contact; and
storing the speaker-dependent speech recognition model in association with the contact record.

Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for generating, distributing, and using speech recognition models. A shared speech processing facility is used to support speech recognition for a wide variety of devices with limited capabilities including business computer systems, personal data assistants, etc., which are coupled to the speech processing facility via a communications channel, e.g., the Internet. Devices with audio capture capability record and transmit to the speech processing facility, via the Internet, digitized speech and receive speech processing services, e.g., speech recognition model generation and/or speech recognition services, in response. The Internet is used to return speech recognition models and/or information identifying recognized words or phrases. The speech processing facility can be used to provide speech recognition capabilities to devices without such capabilities and/or to augment a device'"'"'s speech processing capability. Voice dialing, telephone control and/or other services are provided by the speech processing facility in response to speech recognition results.
