20080270133 | Speech model refinement with transcription error detection - Reliable transcription error-checking algorithm that uses a word confidence score and a word duration probability to detect transcription errors for improved results through the automatic detection of transcription errors in a corpus. The transcription error-checking algorithm is combined model training so as to use a current model to detect transcription errors, remove utterances which contain incorrect transcription (or manually fix the found errors), and retrain the model. This process can be repeated for several iterations to obtain an improved speech recognition model. The speech model is employed to achieve speech-transcription alignment to obtain a word boundary. Speech recognizer is then utilized to generate a word-lattice. Using the word boundary and word lattice, error detection is computed using a word confidence score and a word duration probability. | 10-30-2008 |

20090006096 | Voice persona service for embedding text-to-speech features into software programs - Described is a voice persona service by which users convert text into speech waveforms, based on user-provided parameters and voice data from a service data store. The service may be remotely accessed, such as via the Internet. The user may provide text tagged with parameters, with the text sent to a text-to-speech engine along with base or custom voice data, and the resulting waveform morphed based on the tags. The user may also provide speech. Once created, a voice persona corresponding to the speech waveform may be persisted, exchanged, made public, shared and so forth. In one example, the voice persona service receives user input and parameters, and retrieves a base or custom voice that may be edited by the user via a morphing algorithm. The service outputs a waveform, such as a .wav file for embedding in a software program, and persists the voice persona corresponding to that waveform. | 01-01-2009 |
20090083036 | Unnatural prosody detection in speech synthesis - Described is a technology by which synthesized speech generated from text is evaluated against a prosody model (trained offline) to determine whether the speech will sound unnatural. If so, the speech is regenerated with modified data. The evaluation and regeneration may be iterative until deemed natural sounding. For example, text is built into a lattice that is then (e.g., Viterbi) searched to find a best path. The sections (e.g., units) of data on the path are evaluated via a prosody model. If the evaluation deems a section to correspond to unnatural prosody, that section is replaced, e.g., by modifying/pruning the lattice and re-performing the search. Replacement may be iterative until all sections pass the evaluation. Unnatural prosody detection may be biased such that during evaluation, unnatural prosody is falsely detected at a higher rate relative to a rate at which unnatural prosody is missed. | 03-26-2009 |
20090177601 | STATUS-AWARE PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT - Described is a technology by which personal information that comes into a computer system is intelligently managed according to current state data including user presence and/or user attention data. Incoming information is processed against the state data to determine whether corresponding data is to be output, and if so, what output modality or modalities to use. For example, if a user is present and busy, a notification may be blocked or deferred to avoid disturbing the user. Cost analysis may be used to determine the cost of outputting the data. In addition to user state data, the importance of the information, other state data, the cost of converting data to another format for output (e.g., text-to-speech), and/or user preference data, may factor into the decision. The output data may be modified (e.g., audio made louder) based on a current output environment as determined via the state data. | 07-09-2009 |
20090214117 | HANDWRITING SYMBOL RECOGNITION ACCURACY USING SPEECH INPUT - Described is a bimodal data input technology by which handwriting recognition results are combined with speech recognition results to improve overall recognition accuracy. Handwriting data and speech data corresponding to mathematical symbols are received and processed (including being recognized) into respective graphs. A fusion mechanism uses the speech graph to enhance the handwriting graph, e.g., to better distinguish between similar handwritten symbols that are often misrecognized. The graphs include nodes representing symbols, and arcs between the nodes representing probability scores. When arcs in the first and second graphs are determined to match one another, such as aligned in time and associated with corresponding symbols, the probability score in the second graph for that arc is used to adjust the matching probability score in the first graph. Normalization and smoothing may be performed to correspond the graphs to one another and to control the influence of one graph on the other. | 08-27-2009 |
