Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for speech recognition that receives speech input and converts the speech input to data. A database is accessed to determine stored data corresponding to the speech input data. The stored data is associated with desired output data. The output data is output to a user as speech output. The speech output data may be in the same voice as the user to enhance comprehension and clarity. The present invention may be used in sorting mail in which a street address or post office box number is spoken into the system and the system provides desired information in the form of speech. The desired information may include carrier route number, mail-forwarding information, mail hold information or fee payment information but is not so limited. The present invention may also be used to provide excerpts of written material to a user on command, such as a desired chapter/verse of the Bible.
