Abstract
In a speech recognition system capable of identifying particular words, input speech signals can be processed to detect certain patterns and word combinations. The recognition of these speech patterns and word combinations allow the speech recognition system to replace a number-driven menu, automated attendant systems. Once the speech recognition system recognizes the input speech signal, it confirms the accuracy of the identified speech pattern or word combinations with the user.
