This invention generally relates to user interfaces for speech recognition systems, and particularly to a system and method for speech recognition of arbitrarily spoken characters. Another aspect of this invention relates to relaxing constraints specific to remembering words (and their respective pronunciations) corresponding to characters, which is currently required for computerized recognition of spoken characters. Yet another aspect of this invention is that it dramatically improves a speech recognition system's accuracy for recognition of characters (alphabet or alphanumeric) and thus solves the problem associated with recognition of sub-sets of characters that sound similar and thus bear close similarities in the so called acoustic space; for example the E-set in English language (comprising of B, C, D, E, G, P, T, V, Z) and also M, N.
The problem of entering text into machines using Voice or Speech has existed for a long time. This problem is of specific importance in many practical situations that include applications involving (1) hands-free and/or eyes-free interaction, (2) landline/cellular telephones, personal-digital-assistants, and other such small form-factor devices where a full-size keyboard is lacking, (3) error-correction of a spoken word (like in speech-recognition-for-dictation systems) using a spelling-mode interface, (4) character-recognition, like data-entry using embedded devices, baggage-ID entry using telephone etc. Furthermore, the problem of entering characters (letters and/or alphanumeric symbols) using speech, as opposed to a keyboard, is of specific importance in �wireless-text-messaging� and/or �wireless-data-entry� applications, where the competing interfaces that currently exist, exhibit high degrees of difficulty-to-use.
Speech recognition of spoken characters has been addressed for a long time, but lacks the desired recognition accuracy. This is primarily due to the existing similarities in acoustics among certain groups of characters. There are many confusable groups of characters. For instance, in English language, the most notable group is the so-called �E-set�, which is formed of the letters B, C, D, E, G, P, T, V and Z. Because of the minimal acoustic differences between letter pairs in this E-set, speech recognition of these letters is recognized as being one of the most difficult tasks. Other less confusable groups also present similar problems. Furthermore, the accuracy for recognition of characters is poor, also because the underlying acoustic information in speech waveforms corresponding to the individual characters inherit relatively short durations.
Historically, speech recognition systems have tried to address the above problems by mapping some tags (typically words) to the characters. For instance, the most commonly employed technique is to use the military-alphabet that makes the following mapping: A-Alpha, B-Bravo, C-Charlie, etc. Alternatively, systems also resort to using other forms of mapping like A-for-Alabama, B-for-Boston, C-for-California etc. Further, some systems (see IBM's U.S. Pat. No. 5,995,934, Tang, Nov. 30, 1999) have used techniques like mapping alphanumeric symbols into Chinese idioms or words.
The above user-interface technique of mapping words/tags to characters dramatically improves the accuracy of a speech recognition system. Unfortunately, there are many problems associated with such techniques. Some of these problem include: (1) the users have to memorize/remember these tags which, in almost all real-world applications, is not desirable; (2) the users have to remember/train to pronounce these words/tags in a manner that is well-suited for the specific recognition system; (3) the time it takes to render the speech for these words/tags is large (and depends on the choice of words) compared to the time it takes to simply render speech corresponding to the characters; and (4) the choice of words does not always guarantee optimum separation of the words in the acoustic space. Clearly there is a trade-off between accuracy, speed, and ease of learning, when it comes to designing a user-interface for character recognition.
This invention is a system and method for speech recognition of spoken characters that is based on simple coding-schemes at the user-interface. In particular, it requires association of each character with a plurality of individually spoken characters in sequence. For instance, in one embodiment, the method involves speaking a character followed by its �N� (note that N denoting length of coding-scheme should not be confused with letter N) subsequent characters like �EFG� in place of �E�. Thus, in accordance with this invention, the constraints on users are relaxed, particularly as they are no longer required to remember words/tags (along with pronunciations) corresponding to the characters. Furthermore, the multiple character coding-scheme helps in separating the individual characters that they represent in the acoustic space, with the separation getting better depending on the specific coding-scheme preferred; thus dramatically improving a speech recognizer's accuracy for recognition of characters.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and others that a typical speech recognition system (also referred to as an Automatic Speech Recognizer or ASR) consists of accessing the audio data through a microphone-soundcard combination, processing the audio using a front-end signal processing module to generate feature-vectors, and subsequently doing pattern-matching in the search module; using knowledge from acoustic-model(s) and language-model(s). The system itself may reside as software or may be implemented on a computing device such as a conventional embedded system; and thus may include memory (ROM, RAM etc.), storage, processors (fixed-point, floating-point etc.), interface ports, and other hardware components.
In one embodiment of the invention, a speech recognition system for recognizing and interpreting arbitrarily spoken characters (in any character-based language), that relaxes constraints specific to remembering words (and their respective pronunciations) corresponding to characters, is designed by (a) pre-determining a coding/mapping scheme that maps the individual characters to a sequence of characters (by wrapping around at the end of the sequential list of characters) as per TABLE 1, (b) modifying an existing grammar-file (or creating a new grammar-file) for implementing the coding-scheme as per
TABLE 1 illustrates one embodiment of a coding-scheme that associates a character with its spoken counterpart.
The present invention also works with other languages, when based on a character sequence, in their native form. The invention similarly can be used with Romanized translators, as in Romanji for Japanese, Pin Yin for Chinese, and Devanagari for Hindu as some examples. The present invention may also be used in conjunction with word completion software programs.
TABLE 2 illustrates an example of the coding-scheme described in TABLE 1 as applied to the alphanumeric characters of the English Alphabet.
TABLE 3 illustrates another coding-scheme that is a variant of the coding-scheme described in TABLE 1.
TABLE 4 illustrates an example of the coding-scheme described in TABLE 3 as applied to the alphanumeric characters of the English Alphabet.
TABLE 5 illustrates a set of coding-schemes as examples of the coding-scheme described in TABLE 1.
TABLE 6 illustrates another embodiment of a coding-scheme in accordance with this invention.
TABLE 7 illustrates post-processing step (which basically decodes the coded characters back to their original form) required to implement the coding-scheme as used in FIG. 4/
Notice that the speech recognition system described above results in improved accuracy for the specific task of character-recognition, especially so when the characters exhibit high degrees of acoustic similarities; like the E-Set in English language. Additionally, special techniques may be employed to build and/or adapt acoustic models and language models, that exploit the coding scheme used, so as to further improve the systems performance; for instance collecting corpus of acoustic training/adaptation/test data (speech samples) where the speakers are specifically instructed to speak using the coding-scheme.
Observe that the above system may also be used to improve accuracy in noisy environments, by selecting the parameter �N� (in TABLE 1) which determines the code-length of the coding scheme, based on the known signal-to-noise ratio. More generally, the coding scheme proposed in this invention has the properties of noise robustness, discrimination in the acoustic space, ease-of-learning, and user-friendliness.
Clearly, a user-interface in accordance with this invention has the advantage of being easy-to-adapt by anyone who can speak and type naturally the characters that they wish to dictate. It allows users to conveniently dictate any arbitrary text (by speaking characters into devices) in eyes-busy, hands-busy situations like �driving an automobile�. The user-interface may also be used for correcting errors (and/or entering new words) of a general-purpose speech recognition system. As depicted in
TABLE 8 shows an embodiment of the invention where the two subsequent letters of the text letter to be inputted are used. These subsequent letters are wrapped around the alphabet in the case of �Y� and �Z� as shown. Numbers �8� and �9� are also shown as being wrapped around the Arabic number system sequence.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Yellowing Leaves on Mexican Bush Salvia
I am new to growing saliva and to this board. I have some yellowing of leaves at the base of my Mexican Bush Sage. The plants have been in the ground about 2 1/2 months and appear to be healthy and blooming otherwise. Are they getting too much or too little water? They are growing in full sun in fertile soil. Any help would be appreciated.
Need more information Please.What is your soil like?
I would assume you have sandy soil as opposted to clay.
How has rainfall been in your area? Are leaves yellowing on
the interior part of the plant or all over? If your are
in sand and rain/irrigation has not been on a daily basis
it may be to dry.You may need to work in compost to retain
moisture & mulch helps with this too .FYI: Mine usually yellows if it is to dry the leaves will wilt in the hotest part of the day and not recover until watered.We will wait for more info before going any further , Thanks!
I am having the same exact problem as the original post. Yellowing leaves, from the bottom upwards. The yellowed leaves are showing the leaf 'veins' as maroon. These are salvia mycrophyllia(I think...), variety "hotlips. I haven't had much rain (once last week) but I have been watering more near than normal near this bed because I recently seeded the grass near the bed. Is it possible this is too much water? The ground is defeinitely NOT soaking wet, and it's been about 100 these past few weeks, so it would seeem odd that it would be too wet.... Any ideas? I can provide a picutre, if necessary
"I noticed you had some experience with these. I have 3 in my front beds that are thriving and doing well (this is their 1st year). But, this week, almost overnight, the leaves started yellowing... from the bottom upwards. It is a leafy, full, bush, so I thought it was healthy, other than this sudden issue. Any ideas?"
I agree with hybridsage and his concerns. Yellowing and leaf drop is inevitable with most Salvias. This is especially true if there is a quantum increase in temps, with a hot spell. A cold spell, sudden changes in soil moisture, and loss of nutrients also can cause this.
It is usually with only the lower third to half of the bush that leaf loss is normal.
The South African sages differ in holding on to their leaves, but this is a defense mechanism to deal with hot day temps and loss of moisture in a really hot and dry climate. They do poorly in humid climates, especially in rainy summer weather.
I have exactly the same problem with my newly planted mexican sage. I am using pure compost and water once every week. I don't soak the plant, just make sure
it is moist. The bottom leaves turn yellow and fall off almost overnight. Sometimes only a couple, and sometimes I almost notice there are a dozen turn yellow overnight. It is quite frustrating! My garden soil is clay. But as I said, I
use pure compost in the hole I dug before planting.
I have noticed that the yellowing is most active right after I water the plant.
Any inputs?
Thanks a lot
I have clay soil here also so incorporate sand into
your planting mix. Raised beds are key to growing anything
in clay. I would also keep the compost out of the mix.
Being clay does not drain well it will stay wet for longer
periods of time which can cause plants to rot. Being your plant is new let it dry in between waterings so the oxygen
can get down to the root system. Do you use wood mulches
in california or rock? We use wood mulch here to keep the
soil moisture and temperatures more consistant especially
for new plants.

Will dwarf maple seedlings stay dwarf
kimka(Zone 6B)May 2, 2013
I have a beautifyl dwarf Japanese maple with fine red foliage. Last spring I found a seedling with identical but smaller foliage and potted up. I just found another yesterday.
My question is will these seedlings be as dwarf as the parent tree or will they be larger or otherwise different? I don't really have any other maples near by so it is not likely this is a hybrid.
I'm also going to post this over at the tree forum.

About Fidelity
Fidelity is an asset manager serving investors in all corners of the world outside North America. It was established in 1969 and manages all significant asset classes for institutional and retail investors in long-term savings products. FIL and its subsidiaries employ over 6000 people in 27 countries managing and administering $372.8 billion worldwide.
Fidelity's investment style relies on fundamental research of companies and a strict bottom-up portfolio construction discipline. This means Fidelity's analysts and portfolio managers look closely at a company's balance sheet and future plans; meet regularly with and question its management; and then speak to its competitors, suppliers, customers and anyone else who might give them information that helps to assess whether the investment is a good one. Every investment in every portfolio is selected on its merit and ability to contribute to a better return.
The same can be said of its employees, who are encouraged to take intelligent risk in order to make small improvements that cumulatively improve the business. Fidelity is independent, not a subsidiary of a big bank or other institution, and is privately owned. This means that it can take long-term investment decisions rather than chase the next quarterly results as a listed company might. Fidelity believes its independence is a considerable advantage that benefits its customers.
As well as investment management, Fidelity distributes the funds of other managers through its FundsNetworkTM platform, administers pension schemes, and has interests in various other enterprises in Europe and Asia. For further information please visit www.fidelityrecruitment.com

Putting on the Siberian Ritz
I had planned a couple of days in Novosibirsk so that I could see the ballet at Russia's largest Opera and Ballet Theatre. From a poky office in the middle of London, the idea of a huge theatre in the middle of Siberia sounded too extraordinary to pass up (in my head it would be a Russian Fitzcarraldo).
Found a bed in Siberian Hostel, half full with Ukrainians ...
Day 4 and day 5 of trans Siberia
By now I was over half way and had settled into a bit of a routine. Get up, wash, have breakfast, read/stare out of window/play on phone, make lunch (pot noodle), read/stare out of window/play on phone, eat dinner, read/stare out of window/play on phone and then sleep. The highlight of my day would be watching subset and having dinner with Alex and Eric, such a fun couple. Not a lot ...
Travelling with services
... several kiosks on the platform but wander across the tracks (yes!) and out and there is a supermarket right in the car park. Beer is about 70p a can, so I grabbed one for Ciaran and one for me, went in search of chocolate, found ear buds and wet wipes the remembered Will, the American in Ciaran's xarriage. Probably I should also have grabbed some for my compartment mates, amazing how well a cold beer goes down, but never mind. Info buzz: coke ...
WC day 3
... not rinse the lounge. Now I'm introduced to the team and feel no shame in raising the meeting room fridge and know where there's good food for the price of a wave of my badge, I'm set. Dad engaged a delegate from Nevis and st kitts, and made me once again envious of that depth of knowledge; world, cricket, athletics, it does make conversation go with a flow. Summary: rob said I couldn't count on a British winner, but two nights out of three will do. Reading: don Quixote, though ...
No more vodka please
... we had our first meal in Moscow at the Golden Arches.We walked around the Kremlin walls to Red Square which was smaller than it looks on tv and to what we were expecting. It was being set up for a military tattoo in a few weeks but it was nice to walk around before most of the other tourists had woken up. Also on the square is GUM, the State Department store which is a beautiful old building that looks like Harrods, and inside is filled with lanes of designer shops under ...

Sonote Beat Re:Edit For Mac & PC
There are many different branches of electronic music and some of them are very hard to classify in a single genre. Mainstream EDM music consists of everything we already know as electronic – including DrumNBass, Trance, House etc. The newer forms of electronically produced music can be wild an eccentric to someone who has been around longer than 20 years. For example, Dubstep may seem noisy and random when compared to something more melodic and pulse driven. Some forms of music that combine different elements of music, such as electronic music and hip hop are also popular, and this style has even branched off into its own brand of music, known as glitch hop. If you've ever listened to groups like the Glitch Mob you may have figured something very interesting out.
It almost sounds as if a producer literally took bits and selections from each song and laid them side by side. This differs from our traditional idea of sampling where only individual voices or instruments are taken from a song to be resampled. This idea of remixing is being fully explored by many, and Traktor's remix decks simulate this idea of restructuring a song's phrases into a new being. If there are any Steinberg users out there, you might be happy to hear that Sonote Beat Re:Edit has been released, which works on the same principal of cutting short phrases together. It allows you to do what the Remix Decks can do, but in a producer's environment.

Excellent work. Please consider submitting this to my group Artistic ALTERED Erotica.
gritty and sensual….really excellent composition… :O))
beautifully divine
Strangely gentle at the same time as it is foreboding. It reminds me a bit of Gustav Klimt's work. If I were going to write a novel of High Fantasy, I'd want you to illustrate the cover, based on this remarkable image. John A.
Wow, what a huge compliment… thank you very very much :)
I am a big fan of Klimt – it's really flattering that you liken this to his work.

I can't believe it took 5 years for this breakout band to hit it big.
Their rock n roll /latin roots in a blues blend brings out a vunerability that takes us deeper into the magic of what guitar playing does to your soul.
Listen to their music of today and get a good sense of their own original sound, not SRV's or anyone else.

Posted by Tiguar on 3/30 at 3:58 pm to LSUSaintsHornetsI've been playing a long arse time and my role has changed as the game has and the needs of the folks I play with change.
I used to mid and top a lot, now I seriously cannot stand top. Even mid is annoying to play now for me. I support, adc or (rarely) jungle. Basically if it ain't bot lane, I don't want to be in a lane.

It's a free to play pc game. It is similar to a strategy game except you only control one character. It's pretty addicting and competitive.

You are in for a real treat when you attend the upcoming OCtech Home & Garden Symposium. Mark your calendars now for the two-day event, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7-8, and be sure to pre-register by May 1.
This year's speakers are going to get you so motivated to dive into gardening. Here is a peek at what Tuesday's two speakers will share with you.
You will be delighted with Orangeburg native Ruthie Lacey's presentation "Spring Container Gardening." She will actually be putting some "spring" into your step when it comes to feeling confident about creating dazzling pots of plants that will work for you throughout the year.
"I am going to talk about some great plants that work together and cohabitate nicely," Lacey said.
Lacey's casual demeanor will put you at ease when it comes to knowing that you can succeed with plants. She will talk about maintaining what you create and how to switch out various plant material or develop plantings that will take you through all the seasons of the year.
"I use all kinds of plants, even some houseplants for the summer containers," Lacey said. "I love using herbs and edible plants as well."
Lacey and her designs have been featured in Southern Living Bridal Guide and Columbia Metropolitan magazines. She is a pro at event planning and will give you a wealth of ideas to use for daily life and special events as well.
We all have our favorite plants, but Joan McDonald, who will be Tuesday's afternoon speaker, is going to introduce you to a few more you won't want to garden without. Her presentation, "10 best Plants For 2013," will cover her favorite choices for dependable, useful and utilitarian plants. McDonald will show you how to marry beauty and function when choosing plants.
"I pick my favorite plants by their utility in the garden," McDonald said. "I like plants that are useful in many ways and low-maintenance."
Nasturtiums are one of McDonald's favorites.
"They grow well around here, though you have to pay attention to the proper planting time," McDonald said.
McDonald said there are numerous varieties of nasturtiums available, either in seed or plants. The plant leaves, stems and flowers have a spicy, peppery taste. McDonald likes to prepare the blooms by stuffing them with a filling, and she pickles the seeds for use as a substitute for capers.
As part of McDonald's presentation, you will also be treated to a demonstration of how to make a living or succulent wreath. She will show you how to use chicken wire and sphagnum moss to make a frame and how to insert the succulent cuttings. She will cover how to keep your beautiful wreath healthy and thriving as well.
For more great gardening ideas, see McDonald's blog at http://charlestongrit.com/joan-mcdonald.

Meeting Held About Shallow Water At Oregon Inlet
The problems plaguing Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks were the focus of an emergency meeting in Dare County last night. The waterway has been closed to large boat traffic since Hurricane Sandy and a series of other storms in November made it too shallow to safely pass. Local officials say the annual economic impact of the inlet is nearly seven-hundred-million dollars. Warren Judge is the chairman of the Dare County Board of Commissioners. He says the General Assembly and the area's Congressional delegation are well aware of the problem:
"I remind folks all the time yes we need to work on long term, but we also, part of us has to be working on that daily where's the dredge, we need another million dollars, because if you don't take care of Oregon Inlet in the short term, you don't need to worry about long term solutions because you'll destroy everything we've got and eventually all the business moves away."
A Hurricane Sandy relief bill that passed the House in Washington yesterday contains funding for North Carolina that would help pay for dredging needed to re-open the inlet. The Senate is expected to pass the bill as well.

As a new nation South Sudan faces challenges. Education and the health system need demanding reforms. In the remote areas, people are especially vulnerable and live in uneasy conditions. The government will have to resettle tens of thousands of internally displaced people and returning refugees. It will also have to manage money flow through a central bank and make sure that old hostilities don't affect the sustenance of the country. The country should work to not to become heavily reliant on a few agricultural commodities or natural resources for their national income. Empowering women and youth will be a strategic approach.
Adopting the Millennium Development Goals as part of its development strategy will help to create a closer bond with the UN and its Development Programme to make sure that the picture on the ground is steady and managed.
