Abstract
Systems and methods are utilized for recognizing speech that is partially in a foreign language. The systems and methods receive speech input from a user and detect if a rule or sentence entry grammar structure utilizing a foreign word has been uttered. To recognize the foreign word, a foreign word grammar is utilized. The foreign word grammar includes rules for recognizing the uttered foreign word. Two rules may be included in the foreign word grammar for each legitimate or slang term included in the foreign word grammar. A first rule corresponds to the spoken form of the foreign word, and the second rule corresponds to the spelling form of the foreign word. The foreign word grammar may also utilize a prefix tree. Upon recognizing the foreign word, the recognized foreign word may be sent to an application to retrieve the pronunciation, translation, or definition of the foreign word.
