12. A method of manipulating an image comprising the steps of: reproducing an image; using a speech recognition user interface for allowing a user to input a speech signal comprising a description of a desired change to be made to the reproduced image; interpreting a recognition result output from the speech user recognition interface; and changing a colour of one or more parts of the reproduced image in response to the interpreting step, in order to effect the colour manipulation desired by a user; wherein said description comprises a number of continuously spoken words; wherein said speech recognition user interface performs the steps of: i) matching the input speech signal with selected sequences of word models, selected in accordance with a stored language model by using a memory storing a plurality of reference word models, each representative of a word, and a language model which defines sequences of the reference word models which can be matched with the input speech signal, in order to define input speech commands; and ii) providing, in response to the matching step, a recognition result based upon a likely sequence of reference models that corresponds of an input utterance; and wherein said language model is adaptable by: (a) receiving a new input speech command comprising two or more whole words; (b) generating a word model for each of the words contained within the new input speech command, if they do not already exist; and (c) adapting the language model to incorporate the new input speech command.
