Voice command recognition method and related electronic device and computer-readable medium
First Claim
1. A voice command recognition method for an electronic device, comprising:
- utilizing a text string selector to dynamically select a plurality of command-associated text strings of a document being browsed as candidate text strings, wherein the candidate text strings are displayed to a user;
utilizing an acoustic string provider to prepare a candidate acoustic string for each of the candidate text strings, respectively;
utilizing a microphone to receive a voice command;
utilizing a speech recognizer to search the candidate acoustic strings for a target acoustic string that matches the voice command, the target acoustic string corresponding to a target text string of the candidate text strings; and
utilizing the electronic device to execute a command associated with the target text string;
wherein each of the candidate acoustic strings represents the pronunciation of a symbol additionally displayed next to a corresponding candidate text string to represent that corresponding text string.

Abstract
An electronic device for browsing a document is disclosed. The document being browsed includes a plurality of command-associated text strings. First, a text string selector of the electronic device selects a plurality of candidate text strings from the command-associated text strings. Afterward, an acoustic string provider of the electronic device prepares a candidate acoustic string for each of the candidate text strings. Thereafter, a microphone of the electronic device receives a voice command. Next, a speech recognizer of the electronic device searches the candidate acoustic strings for a target acoustic string that matches the voice command, wherein the target acoustic string corresponds to a target text string of the candidate text strings. Finally, a document browser of the electronic device executes a command associated with the target text string.
