ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed from constructing a grammar. The grammar is configured to be processed by a speech recognition engine in the context of a voice-activated command system. The method includes receiving a database containing a plurality of terms. From the plurality of terms, first and second terms are identified. The first and second terms are spelled differently but have a first pronunciation in common. One of the first and second terms also has a second pronunciation that is not inherent to the other of the first and second terms. The first and second pronunciations are placed within the grammar.
