Abstract
Typical speech recognition systems usually use speaker-specific speech data to apply speaker adaptation to models and parameters associated with the speech recognition system. Given that speaker-specific speech data may not be available to the speech recognition system, information indicative of language skills is employed in adapting configurations of a speech recognition system. According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding apparatus, for speech recognition comprise maintaining information indicative of language skills of users of the speech recognition system. A configuration of the speech recognition system for a user is determined based at least in part on corresponding information indicative of language skills of the user. Upon receiving speech data from the user, the configuration of the speech recognition system determined is employed in performing speech recognition.
