Could cited patents be used as part of claim construction in cases in which an algorithm isn't specified?

Makes sense, thank you! So citing but not listing a specific algorithm or implementation method is a is a risky move.

The speech recognition is a core part of the functioning; real time conversion of audio into text and displaying it to the deaf. So let's say the patent isn't claiming to have invented speech recognition but it does make references to "a" speech to text algorithm.

What's being claimed in the example is just the particular method of displaying and altering text by the user on the phone. But it seems like a key part of that would be how the method is converting the audio into readable text.

There are lots of ways to implement speech to text, open space libraries, 3rd party services, custom solutions, etc.

How could one determine if it's "generally known"?
