ABSTRACT:
A method of multi-lingual speech recognition can include determining whether characters in a word are in a source list of a language-specific alphabet mapping table for a language, converting each character not in the source list according to a general alphabet mapping table, converting each converted character according to the language-specific alphabet mapping table, verifying that each character in the word is in a character set of the language, removing characters not in the character set of the language, and identifying a pronunciation of the word.
