Abstract
Computerized systems with voice user interfaces could save time and ease the work of healthcare practitioners. To achieve this goal voice user interface should be reliable (to recognize the commands with high enough accuracy) and properly designed (to be convenient for the user). The paper deals with hybrid approach implementation issues for the voice commands recognition. By the hybrid approach we assume the combination of several different recognition methods to achieve higher recognition accuracy. The experimental results show that most voice commands are recognized good enough but there is some set of voice commands which recognition is more complicated. In this paper the novel method is proposed for the combination of several recognition methods based on the Ripper algorithm. Experimental evaluation showed that this method allows achieve higher recognition accuracy than application of blind combination rule.
