Patent ID: 10593320

Abstract:
A mistranscription generated by a speech recognition system is identified. A set of known utterance members is provided for use by a speech recognition system. Each utterance member consists of a respective plural number of words. A received utterance is matched to a first utterance member within the set of known utterance members. The first utterance member is a closest matching utterance member and has a first plural number of words. The matching operation matches fewer than the first plural number of words in the received utterance and the received utterance varies in a first particular manner as compared to a first word in a first slot in the first utterance member. The received utterance is sent to a mistranscription analyzer component which increments evidence that the received utterance is evidence of a mistranscription. Once the incremented evidence for the mistranscription exceeds a threshold, future received utterances containing the mistranscription are treated as though the first word was recognized.
