Abstract: A transcription service may receive a request from a developer to build a custom speech-to-text model for a specific domain of speech. The custom speech-to-text model for the specific domain may replace a general speech-to-text model or add to a set of one or more speech-to-text models available for transcribing speech. The transcription service may receive a training data and instructions representing tasks. The transcription service may determine respective schedules for executing the instructions based at least in part on dependencies between the tasks. The transcription service may execute the instructions according to the respective schedules to train a speech-to-text model for a specific domain using the training data set. The transcription service may deploy the trained speech-to-text model as part of a network-accessible service for an end user to convert audio in the specific domain into texts.
