the red word if the acoustic context were required the system would elicit a pronunciation for the red word and the words preceding and following the red word in other words the system would read the target words with the set of target words indicated by the hourglass yellow arrow icon after that the icon would change to the microphone green arrow icon and the user would repeat the phrase if after some programmed number of tries for example three tries the recorded pronunciation remained too deviant to use the system would move on automatically either to the next red word or to the next phrase as appropriate the inventive arrangements provide a new enrollment procedure appropriate for helping non readers or poor readers or readers whose primary fluency is in a different language to complete enrollment in a voice recognition system in the case of a device without a display enrollment is possible irrespective of reading facility although the technology of unsupervised enrollment that is performing additional acoustic analysis using stored audio from real dictation sessions is expected to become feasible in the future users will always benefit from at least some initial enrollment and non readers or poor readers will benefit as well given a system in accordance with the inventive arrangements the methods of the inventive arrangements can be implemented by a computer apparatus 60 shown in fig9 and provided with a routine set of instructions stored in a fixed medium the computer 60 has a processor 62 the processor 62 has a random access memory ram 64 a hard drive 66 a graphics adaptor 68 and one or more sound cards 76 the ram 64.
