Voice Interface Patent
From Google’s World:
5 years ago, Google filed a patent for Voice Interface for a Search Engine and today they were granted the patent! According to the abstract at USPTO, the voice search engine is described as system which provides search results from a voice search query. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user.
