ABSTRACT:
A high reliability digit string recognizer/rejection system that processes spoken words through an HMM recognizer to determine a string of candidate digits, a filler model for each digit in the digit string, and other information. Next, a weighted sum is generated for each digit in the string and for a filler model for each digit in the string. A confidence score is generated for each digit by subtracting the filler weighted sum from the digit weighted sum. The confidence score for each digit is then compared to a threshold and, if the confidence score for any of the digits is less than the threshold, the entire digit string is rejected. If the confidence scores for all of the digits in the digit string are equal to or greater than the threshold, then the candidate digit string is accepted as a digit string.
