  • Patent number: 9099091
    Abstract: 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.
