ABSTRACT:
The embodiments of the invention provide for the storage of speech phrases. Speech phrases are processed by a speaker-independent speech recognition engine of a voice controlled device. This engine returns a speaker-independent representation of the phrase. The speaker-independent representation is stored. Embodiments of the invention include methods of converting text to speaker-independent representations of speech and speaker-independent representations of speech into text.
