  • Publication number: 20150066502
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automated transcription model adaptation includes obtaining audio data from a plurality of audio files. The audio data is transcribed to produce at least one audio file transcription which represents a plurality of transcription alternatives for each audio file. Speech analytics are applied to each audio file transcription. A best transcription is selected from the plurality of transcription alternatives for each audio file. Statistics from the selected best transcription are calculated. An adapted model is created from the calculated statistics.

  • Publication number: 20150066503
    Abstract: Systems and methods of automated adaptation of a language model for transcription of audio data include obtaining audio data. The audio data is transcribed with a language model to produce a plurality of audio file transcriptions. A quality of the plurality of audio file transcriptions is evaluated. At least one best transcription from a plurality of audio file transcriptions is selected based upon the evaluated quality. Statistics are calculated from the selected at least one best transcription from the plurality of audio file transcriptions. The language model is modified from the calculated statistics.

  • Patent number: 8832135
    Abstract: A method for automatically providing a plurality of additional database query terms comprising receiving a first query term from a user, receiving a plurality of characters from the user, wherein the plurality of characters is only a portion of a second query term, and selecting a set of records from a database based on the query term, wherein the database comprises records which comprise text translated from audio. The method also determines a plurality of additional query terms based on the plurality of characters, and, for at least one of the plurality of additional query terms, processes at least a portion of the set of records to determine a relevance of the additional query term. Finally, the method includes displaying at least one of the plurality of additional query terms to the user for selection based on the relevance of at least one of the plurality of additional query terms.

  • Publication number: 20140142944
    Abstract: Systems and method of diarization of audio files use an acoustic voiceprint model. A plurality of audio files are analyzed to arrive at an acoustic voiceprint model associated to an identified speaker. Metadata associate with an audio file is used to select an acoustic voiceprint model. The selected acoustic voiceprint model is applied in a diarization to identify audio data of the identified speaker.

  • Publication number: 20140142940
    Abstract: Systems and methods of diarization using linguistic labeling include receiving a set of diarized textual transcripts. A least one heuristic is automatedly applied to the diarized textual transcripts to select transcripts likely to be associated with an identified group of speakers. The selected transcripts are analyzed to create at least one linguistic model. The linguistic model is applied to transcripted audio data to label a portion of the transcripted audio data as having been spoken by the identified group of speakers. Still further embodiments of diarization using linguistic labeling may serve to label agent speech and customer speech in a recorded and transcripted customer service interaction.

  • Patent number: 8719016
    Abstract: A method for converting speech to text in a speech analytics system is provided. The method includes receiving audio data containing speech made up of sounds from an audio source, processing the sounds with a phonetic module resulting in symbols corresponding to the sounds, and processing the symbols with a language module and occurrence table resulting in text. The method also includes determining a probability of correct translation for each word in the text, comparing the probability of correct translation for each word in the text to the occurrence table, and adjusting the occurrence table based on the probability of correct translation for each word in the text.

  • Publication number: 20140074467
    Abstract: The system and method of separating speakers in an audio file including obtaining an audio file. The audio file is transcribed into at least one text file by a transcription server. Homogenous speech segments are identified within the at least one text file. The audio file is segmented into homogenous audio segments that correspond to the identified homogenous speech segments. The homogenous audio segments of the audio file are separated into a first speaker audio file and second speaker audio file the first speaker audio file and the second speaker audio file are transcribed to produce a diarized transcript.

  • Publication number: 20090276417
    Abstract: A method for automatically providing a plurality of additional database query terms to a user is provided. The method comprises receiving a query term from a user, receiving a plurality of characters from the user in addition to the query term, and selecting a set of records from a database based on the query term, wherein the database comprises records, and the records comprise text translated from audio. The method also determines a plurality of additional query terms based on the plurality of characters, and, for at least one of the plurality of additional query terms, processes at least a portion of the set of records to determine a relevance of the additional query term. Finally, the method includes displaying at least one of the plurality of additional query terms to the user for selection, the display based on the relevance of the at least one of the plurality of additional query terms.

  • Publication number: 20090248647
    Abstract: A computer system coupled to a database is configured to receive a database query, and evaluate a set of records from a database based on the database query. The database comprises a plurality of records, and each record comprises text translated from audio. The system then determines a plurality of measurement terms based on the database query, and processes at least a portion of the text of at least one record of the database to determine a quality of the database query based on the occurrences of the measurement terms within the portion of text, and performs an action based on the quality of the database query.
