Voice-enabled directory look-up

Реферат: A novel voice-enabled directory look-up system, where an operator (31) reads the first few characters from each of the first and last names of a mail addressee. The audio signal is parsed (43) into character position segments. The system determines one or more candidates for each character position segment and expands (45) the candidate list to include one or more characters that sound like the original candidate characters for that character position. The candidates for the respective character positions are composed (47) into a regular expression and applied (49) using an inexact string-matching look-up routine to a directory of records (61). Records with the best matches are returned (51) in a menu for operator selection.
