Claim 29:
30. The computer-implemented method of claim 21, wherein using at least the acoustic model with each data segment of the multiple data segments to identify likely speech sounds in the speech audio comprises performing operations comprising:
analyzing, by the at least one processor, probability distributions that are output by the acoustic model, and that identify likely speech sounds, to identify combinations of speech sounds that correspond to candidate words;
for each candidate word, performing, by the at least one processor, and within a separate thread of the thread pool, an instance of a beam search of a language corpus of the language model to derive a corresponding candidate set of n-grams accompanied by corresponding indications of relative probabilities of use of each n-gram within the candidate set of n-grams; and
using, by the at least one processor, at least one of probability distributions output by the acoustic model or indications of relative probabilities output by the language model to identify each word that is to be included in the transcript.
