  • Patent number: 11335324
    Abstract: A method for training a speech conversion model personalized for a target speaker with atypical speech includes obtaining a plurality of transcriptions in a set of spoken training utterances and obtaining a plurality of unspoken training text utterances. Each spoken training utterance is spoken by a target speaker associated with atypical speech and includes a corresponding transcription paired with a corresponding non-synthetic speech representation. The method also includes adapting, using the set of spoken training utterances, a text-to-speech (TTS) model to synthesize speech in a voice of the target speaker and that captures the atypical speech. For each unspoken training text utterance, the method also includes generating, as output from the adapted TTS model, a synthetic speech representation that includes the voice of the target speaker and that captures the atypical speech. The method also includes training the speech conversion model based on the synthetic speech representations.

  • Patent number: 11257484
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a multi-layer speech recognition transcript post processing system may include a data-driven, statistical layer associated with a trained automatic speech recognition model that selects an initial transcript. A rule-based layer may receive the initial transcript from the data-driven, statistical layer and execute at least one pre-determined rule to generate a first modified transcript. A machine learning approach layer may receive the first modified transcript from the rule-based layer and perform a neural model inference to create a second modified transcript. A human editor layer may receive the second modified transcript from the machine learning approach layer along with an adjustment from at least one human editor. The adjustment may create, in some embodiments, a final transcript that may be used to fine-tune the data-driven, statistical layer.

  • Publication number: 20210375289
    Abstract: A transcription of audio speech included in electronic content associated with a meeting is created by an ASR model trained on speech-to-text data. The transcription is post-processed by modifying text included in the transcription, for example, by modifying punctuation, grammar, or formatting introduced by the ASR model and by changing or omitting one or more words that were included in both the audio speech and the transcription. After the transcription is post-processed, output based on the post-processed transcription is generated in the form of a meeting summary and/or template.
