METHOD OF RECOGNIZING SPOKEN LANGUAGE WITH RECOGNITION OF LANGUAGE COLOR

In accordance with a present invention speech recognition is disclosed. It uses a microphone to receive audible sounds input by a user into a first computing device having a program with a database consisting of (i) digital representations of known audible sounds and associated alphanumeric representations of the known audible sounds and (ii) digital representations of known audible sounds corresponding to mispronunciations resulting from known classes of mispronounced words and phrases. The method is performed by receiving the audible sounds in the form of the electrical output of the microphone. A particular audible sound to be recognized is converted into a digital representation of the audible sound. The digital representation of the particular audible sound is then compared to the digital representations of the known audible sounds to determine which of those known audible sounds is most likely to be the particular audible sound being compared to the sounds in the database. A speech recognition output consisting of the alphanumeric representation associated with the audible sound most likely to be the particular audible sound is then produced. An error indication is then received from the user indicating that there is an error in recognition. The user also indicates the proper alphanumeric representation of the particular audible sound. This allows assistant to determine whether the error is a result of a known type or instance of mispronunciation. In response to a determination of error corresponding to a known type or instance of mispronunciation, the system presents an interactive training program from the computer to the user to enable the user to correct such mispronunciation.
