An artificial Intelligence Approach to improving Speech Recognition
… syntactic or semantic errors. This is done via a software agent that uses the information from its knowledge base to attempt to correct the errors found. A system was implemented with a small vocabulary speaker-independent continuous speech recognition system, with limited sentence structures. The …
