The speech recognition system converts spoken instructions into DTMF instructions for voice mail systems while allowing prompts form the voice mail system and DTMF tones from the subscriber to pass through without any interference by the speech recognition system. To accomplish these pass through functions, the speech recognition system sets up what is know as a hairpin connection between the subscriber, the speech recognition system and the voice mail system.Field of SearchApplicationSpeech controlled system Speech assisted network Voice activation or recognition Voice verification (e.g., voice authorization, voiceprint, etc.) Voice controlled message management Message management Controlled by subscriber or caller Interacting voice message systems AUDIO MESSAGE STORAGE, RETRIEVAL, OR SYNTHESIS | |
