1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, based on a multi-word phrase, a word-dependent language model specific to the multi-word phrase and enabling word-level speech verification, the word-dependent language model including different accuracy thresholds for at least two of the multiple words, the different accuracy thresholds including a highest accuracy threshold for a most important word in the multi-word phrase, the highest accuracy threshold generated by providing a greatest number of imposter words in the word-dependent language model for the most important word in the multi-word phrase, wherein determining the word-dependent language model determines, based on a length of the most important word in the multi-word phrase, a set of words having the length, and wherein the imposter words for the most important word in the word-dependent language model includes the set of words;
providing the word-dependent language model of the multi-word phrase to a speech-recognition engine; and
receiving, from the speech-recognition engine and responsive to the speech-recognition engine receiving one or more human utterances associated with the multi-word phrase, an indication that the one or more utterances is verified or not verified to be the multi-word phrase.

Abstract
This document describes word-dependent language models, as well as their creation and use. A word-dependent language model can permit a speech-recognition engine to accurately verify that a speech utterance matches a multi-word phrase. This is useful in many contexts, including those where one or more letters of the expected phrase are known to the speaker.

13. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more memories comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising; determining, based on a multi-word phrase, a word-dependent language model specific to the multi-word phrase and enabling word-level speech verification, the word-dependent language model including different accuracy thresholds for at least two of the multiple words, the different accuracy thresholds including a highest accuracy threshold for a most important word in the multi word phrase, the highest accuracy threshold generated by providing a greatest number of imposter words in the word-dependent language model for the most important word in the multi-word phrase, wherein determining the word-dependent language model determines, based on a length of the most important word in the multi-word phrase, a set of words having the length, and wherein the imposter words for the most important word in the word-dependent language model includes the set of words; providing the word-dependent language model of the multi-word phrase to a speech-recognition engine; and receiving, from the speech-recognition engine and responsive to the speech recognition engine receiving one or more human utterances associated with the multi-word phrase, an indication that the one or more utterances is verified or not verified to be the multi-word phrase. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
