ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for adding a new entry to a speech recognition dictionary, more particularly to a system and method for generating transcriptions from multiple utterances of a given word. The novel method and apparatus automatically transcribes several training utterances into transcriptions without knowledge of the orthography of the word being added. It also provides a method and apparatus for transcribing multiple utterances into a single transcription that can be added to a speech recognition dictionary. In a first step, each utterance is analyzed individually to get their respective acoustic characteristics. Following this, these characteristics are combined to generate a set of the most likely transcriptions using the acoustic information obtained from each of the training utterances.
