Processing speech recognition errors in an embedded speech recognition system

A method of processing misrecognized speech in an embedded speech recognition system incorporating a finite state grammar. The method can include the following steps: first, responsive to receiving notification of a misrecognition error, a list of contextually valid phrases in the speech recognition system can be presented to the speaker. Second, a list words can be presented which form a selected one of the contextually valid phrases. Third, one or more selected words in the second presented list can be stored. Notably, the one or more selected words include corrections to said misrecognition error. Finally, the stored words can be processed in a local speech training program. More particularly, the local speech training program can incorporate the corrections into an acoustic model for the embedded speech recognition system.
