Using a hidden Markov model-based recognition framework, a word-based grammar with a closed dictionary is enhanced by a character sequence recognition method. This allows to recognize out-of-dictionary words in controlled parts of the recognition, while keeping a closed vocabulary restriction for other parts. While the current status is work in progress, we can report an improvement in terms of character error rate. %U http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/CFF2013.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-38628-2_13 %P 117-124
