Abstract
A recognition test is applied to a segment of speech produced by a speaker. An examination is carried out to see whether a first optimum model, with which the recognition test has matched the spoken segment of speech, satisfies a criterion of likelihood. If the criterion of likelihood is satisfied, this first optimum model is selected. If not, a repetition of the speech segment is requested. The recognition test is applied to the segment of speech repeated by the speaker. This second optimum model is selected if it satisfies the likelihood criterion. If not, and if a combination of the results of the two recognition tests satisfies at least one criterion of combined selection, one of the models which the two recognition tests have matched with the spoken segment of speech and with the repeated segment is selected.
