Storing, reproducing or transmitting speech information e.g. for retrieval using keywords in mobile telephone, by acoustically outputting sentence with smallest deviation from stored speech pattern

摘要

The method uses a device for input and/or storage and/or acoustic reproduction, and/or transmission of speech and data information to other devices, and a device for searching for one or more speech segments in the stored speech information. Spoken words or sentences (remarks) are digitally recorded as speech signals in a memory. At least one word is spoken again, compared with the recording, and evaluated. A deviation between the two speech patterns is calculated, and the remark with the smallest deviation is acoustically output. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for performing the method.
