20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the warning further comprises a phonetic unit type indicator that distinguishes a phonemic cross-language speech recognition problem from a syllabic cross-language speech recognition problem.
19. In a computing device and at a speech recognition problem detection program executed on the computing device, a method for identifying a cross-language speech recognition problem, comprising: receiving a first target word from a target application; acquiring a phonetic transcription of the first target word comprising one or more target phonetic units; comparing at least one of the target phonetic units to a plurality of native phonetic units associated with a native language; determining that the at least one target phonetic unit is not found in the plurality of native phonetic units associated with the native language; in response to determining that the at least one target phonetic unit is not found in the plurality of native phonetic units associated with the native language, outputting a warning of the cross-language speech recognition problem for display on a display device, wherein the warning comprises the first target word and a problem language indicator that indicates the native language; receiving feedback comprising performance statistics related to a recognition accuracy by a speech detection program of a second target word, wherein the second target word has been previously evaluated by the speech recognition problem detection program; utilizing the feedback, determining that the recognition accuracy by the speech detection program of the second target word is below a predetermined threshold; in response to determining that the recognition accuracy of the second target word is below the predetermined threshold, adding the second target word to a black list comprising a plurality of words having a recognition accuracy below the predetermined threshold; subsequently receiving the second target word from another target application; determining that the second target word is found on the black list; and in response to determining that the second target word is found on the black list, outputting the warning of the cross-language speech recognition problem for display on the display device, wherein the warning comprises the second target word and the problem language indicator that indicates the native language.
