Abstract

A voice activated device using speaker independent speech recognition is capable of receiving from a remote location the phonetic spellings needed for speech recognition in the device. The phonetic spellings, as well as additional application data, are communicated to the voice activated device from the remote location and stored in the device. A user can then speak voice commands which are intercepted by the device where local processing of the voice commands takes place. The device makes available to the user extensive information pertaining to multiple network services or applications. The information may be communicated to the user by voice or via other communication media.
