20130030804 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF A TRANSCRIPTION USING AUXILIARY DATA SUCH AS PERSONAL DATA - A method is described for improving the accuracy of a transcription generated by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine. A personal vocabulary is maintained that includes replacement words. The replacement words in the personal vocabulary are obtained from personal data associated with a user. A transcription is received of an audio recording. The transcription is generated by an ASR engine using an ASR vocabulary and includes a transcribed word that represents a spoken word in the audio recording. Data is received that is associated with the transcribed word. A replacement word from the personal vocabulary is identified, which is used to re-score the transcription and replace the transcribed word. | 01-31-2013 |
20150098555 | VOICEMAIL PREVIEW AND EDITING SYSTEM - A voicemail computer system transcribes a voicemail message into text that is presented to a calling party for approval. A calling party is able to approve, disapprove or edit a voicemail message prior to delivery to one or more called parties. The voicemail computer system may analyze a voicemail message to detect errors, omissions, or potentially offensive words. The voicemail computer may analyze a voicemail message to make suggestions as to tone, content or information contained within the voicemail message. The calling party can edit the voicemail message or approve it prior to providing a notification to one or more called parties that they have received the voicemail message. | 04-09-2015 |

20140278425 | DATA SHREDDING FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION LANGUAGE MODEL TRAINING UNDER DATA RETENTION RESTRICTIONS - Training speech recognizers, e.g., their language or acoustic models, using actual user data is useful, but retaining personally identifiable information may be restricted in certain environments due to regulations. Accordingly, a method or system is provided for enabling training of a language model which includes producing segments of text in a text corpus and counts corresponding to the segments of text, the text corpus being in a depersonalized state. The method further includes enabling a system to train a language model using the segments of text in the depersonalized state and the counts. Because the data is depersonalized, actual data may be used, enabling speech recognizers to keep up-to-date with user trends in speech and usage, among other benefits. | 09-18-2014 |

20140163982 | Human Transcriptionist Directed Posterior Audio Source Separation - A graphical user interface is described for human guided audio source separation in a multi-speaker automated transcription system receiving audio signals representing speakers participating together in a speech session. A speaker avatar for each speaker is distributed about a user interface display to suggest speaker positions relative to each other during the speech session. There also is a speaker highlight element on the interface display for visually highlighting a specific speaker avatar corresponding to an active speaker in the speech session to aid a human transcriptionist listening to the speech session to identify the active speaker. A speech signal processor performs signal processing of the audio signals to isolate an audio signal corresponding to the highlighted speaker avatar. A session transcription processor performs automatic speech recognition (ASR) of the signal processed audio signal for the speech session as supervised by the human transcriptionist and reflecting position of the speaker highlight element. | 06-12-2014 |
20140207451 | Method and Apparatus of Adaptive Textual Prediction of Voice Data - Typical textual prediction of voice data employs a predefined implementation arrangement of a single or multiple prediction sources. Using a predefined implementation arrangement of the prediction sources may not provide a good prediction performance in a consistent manner with variations in voice data quality. Prediction performance may be improved by employing adaptive textual prediction. According to at least one embodiment determining a configuration of a plurality of prediction sources, used for textual interpretation of the voice data, is determined based at least in part on one or more features associated with the voice data or one or more a-priori interpretations of the voice data. A textual output prediction of the voice data is then generated using the plurality of prediction sources according to the determined configuration. Employing an adaptive configuration of the text prediction sources facilitates providing more accurate text transcripts of the voice data. | 07-24-2014 |
20140278426 | DATA SHREDDING FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION ACOUSTIC MODEL TRAINING UNDER DATA RETENTION RESTRICTIONS - Training speech recognizers, e.g., their language or acoustic models, using actual user data is useful, but retaining personally identifiable information may be restricted in certain environments due to regulations. Accordingly, a method or system is provided for enabling training of an acoustic model which includes dynamically shredding a speech corpus to produce text segments and depersonalized audio features corresponding to the text segments. The method further includes enabling a system to train an acoustic model using the text segments and the depersonalized audio features. Because the data is depersonalized, actual data may be used, enabling speech recognizers to keep up-to-date with user trends in speech and usage, among other benefits. | 09-18-2014 |
