Abstract

A method and device for recognizing speech that has a sequence of words each including one or more letters. The word and letters form a recognition data base. The method receives and recognizes the speech by preliminary modelling among various probably recognized sequences. The method selects one or more model sequences as result. In particular, the method allows in a model sequence of exclusively letters, various words as a subset. Such words are used to qualify one or more neighbouring or included letters in the sequence. An applicable model is a mixed information unit model.
