Abstract

A speech controlled dialing circuit identifies input utterances which may be a command word (mode select), repertory word (dialing name or number), or nonrecognized ("Other"). Responsive to the identification of each occurring input utterance, a set of predetermined templates are selected to identify the next occuring utterance. A programmed microprocessor system is described to implement the main controller function.
