Abstract
A device (102) that can perform voice recognition operates with a removable media or memory (104) that is used to store information records (126). To save memory space in the removable media, voice recognition tags (118), used to perform voice recognition, are not stored in the removable media, but are stored in the device. Since the media is removable, the device must check to make sure the records stored in the media are usable with the voice recognition tags. This is accomplished by generating a key (306) whenever a new voice recognition tag is trained (304). The key is stored in the device, or in the media, or both. Upon initialization of the device, (202), the device searches (206) the media for records and checks (210) to see if the key corresponding to the record matches any keys in the device. When a match is found the record is associated (214) with the corresponding voice recognition tag. Voice recognition tags with no corresponding records are deleted or ignored. When a record with no corresponding voice recognition tag is found, the device may prompt the user to train a new voice recognition tag (218) for the record.
