ABSTRACT:
A speech recognition system is extensible in that new terms may be added to a list of terms that are recognized by the speech recognition system. The speech recognition system provides audio feedback when new terms are added so that a user may hear how the system expects the word to be pronounced. The user may then accept the pronunciation or provide his own pronunciation. The user may also selectively change the pronunciation of words to avoid misrecognitions by the system. The system may provide appropriate user interface elements for enabling a user to change the pronunciation of words. The system may also include intelligence for automatically changing the pronunciation of words used in recognition based upon empirically derived information.
