  • Publication number: 20250210038
    Abstract: An ASR transcript of at least a portion of a media content is obtained from an ASR tool. Suggested words are received for corrected words of the ASR transcript. Features are obtained using at least the suggested words. The features include a reasonableness score. The reasonableness score is obtained from an NLP model evaluating sentences including the suggested words in context of the ASR transcript. The features are input into a machine learning (ML) model to obtain a probabilistic determination of a validity of the suggested words. Responsive to the probabilistic determination exceeding a validity threshold, the suggested words are incorporated into the ASR transcript in place of the corrected words.
