Abstract
A system and method of operating an automatic speech recognition service using a client-server architecture is used to make automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text to speech (TTS) services accessible at a client location remote from the location of the main ASR and TTS engines. The present invention utilizes client-server communications over a packet network, such as the Internet or a wireless network, where the ASR/TTS server receives a grammar from the client or selects from a locally second plurality of grammars, receives information representing speech from the client, performs speech recognition, and returns information based upon the recognized speech to the client.
