Abstract: Systems and methods for speech processing in telecommunication networks are described. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving speech transmitted over a network, causing the speech to be converted to text, and identifying the speech as predetermined speech in response to the text matching a stored text associated with the predetermined speech. The stored text may have been obtained, for example, by subjecting the predetermined speech to a network impairment condition. The method may further include identifying terms within the text that match terms within the stored text (e.g., despite not being identical to each other), calculating a score between the text and the stored text, and determining that the text matches the stored text in response to the score meeting a threshold value. In some cases, the method may also identify one of a plurality of speeches based on a selected one of a plurality of stored texts.
