Station convenience with speech recognition, and a voice control system comprising such a station

摘要

The system uses data bank of voice samples for comparison with segments of speech recorded by a microphone, this data including details of numbers called by the user, so that the numbers can be dialed automatically on recognition of voice commands. The telephone terminal (5) comprises a speech recognition module (15) for comparing the segments of speech recorded by the microphone with pre-recorded samples. A memory (16,18) holds the pre-recorded samples with data relating to theses samples. In particular, this data may comprise the details of numbers called by the telephone user, so that numbers may be dialed automatically on recognition of specific speech segments. The other speech segments relate to commands for the operation of external equipment. In response to recognition of speech segments, the commands may be effected directly or through the action of a relay.
