Speech Recognition


  • SRGS is almost a W3C Recommendation
  • Describes the expected utterances with a simple grammar
    • can be either in Augmented BNF or XML syntax
  • Speech processors know what they can expect in a context, hence no need for a very general speech recognition
    • this makes speech input feasible
      • the “output” is the set of literals described by the grammar
  • Speech processors know what they can expect in a context,
  • hence no need for a very general speech recognition
    • this makes speech input feasible
    • the “output” is the set of literals described by the grammar
  • The grammar can also be used for non-speech input
    • eg, to interpret handwritten input
