Claim 9:
10. The apparatus of claim 1, 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 the at least one processor being caused to perform operations comprising:
analyze 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, perform, 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
use 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.
