Abstract

In a speech recognition system of the type including a recognition unit responsive to a voice input and a conditioning input for recognizing the voice input to produce a recognition output, a start signal is produced whenever a voice input exceeds a threshold level and a pause interval detection signal is produced whenever a voice input falls below a threshold level. An output timing signal is produced when the detection signal lasts a preselected interval of time that may be either about 250 milliseconds or about 250 milliseconds plus a delay. The recognition output from the recognition unit produced in response to the detection signal is displayed in response also to the detection signal. The result is delivered to a utilization device in response to the output timing signal. The delay may be given either by a predetermined duration or an interval between those instants at which the above-mentioned 250 milliseconds have just elapsed after production of the detection signal and after production of another pause interval detection signal for a next following voice input. During the delay, it is possible either by a manually operable switch or a cancel voice input to cancel delivery…
