METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING, UPDATING AND DISTRIBUTING SPEECH RECOGNITION MODELS
First Claim
1. A speech processing method, comprising:
- receiving, by a speech processing system, speech data from a first computing device, the speech processing system utilizing one or more existing speech recognition models usable to recognize speech;
processing, by the speech processing system, the speech data;
based on the processing, generating, by the speech processing system, a new speech recognition model transmitting, by the speech processing system, the new speech recognition model to the first computing device; and
transmitting, by the speech processing system, the new speech recognition model to at least one second computing device different from the first computing device.

Abstract
Techniques for generating, distributing, and using speech recognition models are described. 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. Thus, 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.
