1. A method for converting spoken speech into written speech, wherein the method comprises:
- using at least one processor to transcribe input speech via speech recognition;
using the at least one processor to map each spoken utterance from input speech into a corresponding formal utterance;
using the at least one processor to map each formal utterance into a stylistically formatted written utterance; and
using the at least one processor to train a spoken to written speech translator using a statistical equation, wherein the statistical equation comprises Prob_theta(F|A)=Prob_theta(F|T) Prob(T|A/Prob(A,F|T), where F is written speech, T is spoken speech, A is speech spoken by an individual.

14. A system for converting spoken speech into written speech, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative to; transcribe input speech via speech recognition; map each spoken utterance from input speech into a corresponding formal utterance; map each formal utterance into a stylistically formatted written utterance; and represent one or more metrics of proximity from one language style to another, using an entropy-based measure that incorporates understandability over a specified number of words. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method for converting spoken speech into written speech, wherein the method comprises:
-
using at least one processor to transcribe input speech via speech recognition; using the at least one processor to map each spoken utterance from input speech into a corresponding formal utterance; using the at least one processor to map each formal utterance into a stylistically formatted written utterance; and using the at least one processor to estimate one or more parameters with an expectation maximization algorithm that optimizes one or more functions via association with an auxiliary function, wherein a function for estimation of one or more parameters comprises Prob_theta(F|A)=f (theta)=Prob_theta(F|T) Prob_theta(T|A)/Prob(A,F|T), where F is written speech, T is spoken speech, and A is speech spoken by an individual. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
