Abstract

A speech dialog control module enhances user operation of a speech dialog system by translating an input signal unrecognizable by a speech dialog system into a recognizable language. A speech dialog control module includes an input device that receives a speech signal in a first language. A controller receives the input signal and generates a control instruction that corresponds to the received input signal. The control instruction has a language that is different from the input signal. A speech-synthesis unit converts the control instruction into an output speech signal. An output device outputs the output speech signal.
