First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of tuning speech recognition systems, comprising the steps of:
- (a) performing text-to-speech conversion of text data;
(b) detecting the accuracy of speech converted from text data;
(c) determining that the detected accuracy is below a predetermined threshold;
(d) recording a user recitation of the text data in response to the determination in step (c); and
(e) storing the user recitation in an exception database located at a vehicle.

8. A method of tuning speech recognition systems, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) performing text-to-speech conversion of text data at a vehicle; (b) presenting the text data as converted speech via an audio system at the vehicle; (c) detecting the accuracy of the speech converted from text data; (d) determining that the detected accuracy is below a predetermined threshold; (e) prompting a vehicle occupant for a recitation of the text data; (f) recording the recitation of the text data as an audio file; and (g) adding the audio file to an exception database maintained at the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of tuning speech recognition systems, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving speech input at a microphone from a user; (b) recording the received speech input received from the user; (c) determining using an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system that the recognition of speech input fell below a high-confidence threshold; (d) separating the recorded speech into sounds in response to step (c); and (e) associating the separated sounds with the received speech in an exception dictionary that is accessed by both the ASR system and a text-to-speech (TTS) system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
