  text: In this paper, we derive an uncertainty decoding rule for automatic speech
    recognition (ASR), which accounts for both corrupted observations and inter-frame
    correlation. The conditional independence assumption, prevalent in hidden Markov
    model-based ASR, is relaxed to obtain a clean speech posterior that is conditioned
    on the complete observed feature vector sequence. This is a more informative posterior
    than one conditioned only on the current observation. The novel decoding is used
    to obtain a transmission-error robust remote ASR system, where the speech capturing
    unit is connected to the decoder via an error-prone communication network. We
    show how the clean speech posterior can be computed for communication links being
    characterized by either bit errors or packet loss. Recognition results are presented
    for both distributed and network speech recognition, where in the latter case
    common voice-over-IP codecs are employed.
