ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for synthesizing word baseforms for words not spoken during a training session, wherein each synthesized baseform represents a series of models from a first set of models, which include: (a) uttering speech during a training session and representing the uttered speech as a sequence of models from a second set of models; (b) for each of at least some of the second set models spoken in a given phonetic model context during the training session, storing a respective string of first set models; and (c) constructing a word baseform of first set models for a word not spoken during the training session, including the step of representing each piece of a word that corresponds to a second set model in a given context by the stored respective string, if any, corresponding thereto.
