Abstract

A speech recognition test system comprising a single host processing system having a host processor and a memory device, wherein the memory device contains a plurality of audio files accessible by the host processor. The test system also includes a speech recognition application having a vocabulary, an independent test application, a means for concurrently executing the speech recognition application and the independent test application on the host processor, a means for queuing the audio files as input to the speech recognition application by way of the test application, a means for programming the test application at configuration time to expand the vocabulary of the application being tested and/or other voice gender, volume, and speed playback parameters, and a means for capturing and evaluating test results from the speech recognition application by way of the test application. In an alternative embodiment the speech recognition test system includes an audio input/output device operatively connected to the host processor, and a means for redirecting output from the audio input/output system as input to itself.
