ABSTRACT:
To increase the recognition rate and quality in a process of recognizing speech an approximative set of pronunciation rules (APR) for a current pronunciation (CP) of a current speaker is determined in a given pronunciation space (PS) and then applied to a current pronunciation lexicon (CL) so as to perform a speaker specific adaptation of said current lexicon (CL).
