Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for speech recognition, the computer-implemented method comprising: accessing acoustic data of a first speaker, the acoustic data of the first speaker being a collection of recorded utterances spoken by the first speaker; accessing a baseline acoustic speech model of an automated speech recognition system, the baseline acoustic speech model having a plurality of acoustic parameters used in converting spoken words to text; estimating, using a maximum a posteriori probability process that compares an analysis of the acoustic data of the first speaker to the plurality of acoustic parameters of the baseline acoustic speech model, statistical changes to acoustic parameters of the baseline acoustic speech model that improve speech recognition accuracy of the acoustic model when executing speech recognition on utterances of the first speaker; and storing changes to a set of acoustic parameters corresponding to acoustic parameters from the baseline acoustic speech model that have an estimated statistical change.
