ABSTRACT:
A method and database system is disclosed for searching data in at least two databases (Dn), particularly for searching telephone directories or the like. To allow simultaneous access to two or more databases by means of speech recognition in order to perform a search therein as in a single database, a search term is input by speech via a voice controlled user interface (28) connected to a database primary control apparatus (26) and comprises speech recognition front end means (8, 9) for processing a sound sequence of a search term input by speech to obtain a comparable speech pattern (X) thereof. By means of speech recognition back end means (6) associated with databases (D1-D6), the comparable speech pattern (X) is compared with corresponding speech patterns (An,i) of database entries (En,i) to determine for each of the at least two databases (Dn) at least that database entry (En,j) the speech pattern (An,j) which best matches the comparable speech pattern (X) of the search term.
