Abstract
Abstract A method and system for enrolling speed dial names includes providing speaker dependent templates and associated telephone numbers and providing a penalized garbage model for unrecognized speech. When a request for a new template is received it is determined if the list of speed dial names is full (Step 201) and is not it is determined if that name is too similar (Step 205) to a name already on the speed dial list. If so, that name is rejected but if not it is determined if the speed dial name is too short (Step 302), and if not; too short or if the user wants to enter the short name the system asks the user to repeat the speed dial name and if a match it is entered. If not a match the system will swap the first and second utterance and compare to see if a match.
