Abstract:

A method and associated system for recognizing speech using multiple speech recognition algorithms. The method includes receiving speech at a microphone installed in a vehicle, and determining results for the speech using a first algorithm, e.g., embedded locally at the vehicle. Speech results may also be received at the vehicle for the speech determined using a second algorithm, e.g., as determined by a remote facility. The results for both may include a determined speech topic and a determined speech slotted value, along with corresponding confidence levels for each. The method may further include using at least one of the determined first speech topic and the received second speech topic to determine the topic associated with the received speech, even when the first speech topic confidence level of the first speech topic, and the second speech topic confidence level of the second speech topic are both a low confidence level.
