Patent Document ID: 7881930
Application ID: 11767537

Base Claim:
1. An ASR-aided transcription system with segmented feedback training, the system comprising: a transcription process manager configured to extract a first segment and a second segment from an audio input of speech uttered by a speaker; and an ASR engine configured to: operate in a first speech recognition mode to convert said first speech segment into a first text transcript using a speaker-independent acoustic model and a speaker-independent language model; operate in a first training mode to create a speaker-specific acoustic model and a speaker-specific language model by: adapting said speaker-independent acoustic model using said first segment and/or a proofread version of said first text transcript; and adapting said speaker-independent language model using at least the proofread version of said first text transcript; and operate in a second speech recognition mode to convert said second speech segment into a second text transcript using said speaker-specific acoustic model and said speaker-specific language model.

Claim 5:
5. A system according to claim 1 wherein said ASR engine is configured when in either of said speech recognition modes to determine a plurality of word time offsets for words in either of said segments, and when in said training mode to adapt said speaker-specific models using said word time offsets.
