ABSTRACT:
The system described herein facilitates the control, by spoken input, of multiple user application programs running under an operating system providing multi-tasking capability. A speech recognition program runs as one of the multi-tasked programs. The recognition program is operative to provide translation, either text or program commands, of spoken words in accordance with a translation table. Each of the other user application programs which is to be controlled is provided with a respective translation table section. In accordance with the invention, the recognition program includes means for creating a database for each of the other user application programs which is run and stores, in the respective database, a record reflecting each translation which is sent to a running one of the other application programs. These records identify the speech event which was translated and also identifies alternate possible translations of the speech event. Using the databases, the user can undo the effect of a previously sent translation, select an alternate translation and perform other editing tasks.
