ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an automated directory assistance system that utilizes a heuristics model for predicting the most likely requested number. Each orthography link in the speech recognition dictionary pointing toward an entry in the white pages is associated with a data structure that provides a probability value of that link pointing toward the telephone number intended by the user on the basis of locality information specified by the user of the automated directory assistance system.
