Systems and methods for disambiguating a voice search query

An apparatus, comprising:

• control circuitry;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the control circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• receive a voice search query comprising a first plurality of words;
• determine a first plurality of audio parameters for the voice search query, wherein each audio parameter of the first plurality of audio parameters is associated with a word of the plurality of words;
• identify metadata of a quotation based on the voice search query, wherein:
• the quotation comprises a second plurality of words;
• the metadata comprises a second plurality of audio parameters for the quotation;
• and
• each audio parameter of the second plurality of audio parameters is associated with a word of the second plurality of words;
• determine that at least a portion of the voice search query matches at least a portion of the quotation in response to comparing the first plurality of audio parameters with the second plurality of audio parameters;
• and
• generate for display a search result comprising an identifier of a content item associated with the quotation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

• receive a voice search query comprising a first plurality of words;
• determine a first plurality of audio parameters for the voice search query, wherein each audio parameter of the first plurality of audio parameters is associated with a word of the plurality of words;
• identify metadata of a quotation based on the voice search query, wherein:
• the quotation comprises a second plurality of words;
• the metadata comprises a second plurality of audio parameters for the quotation;
• and
• each audio parameter of the second plurality of audio parameters is associated with a word of the second plurality of words;
• determine that at least a portion of the voice search query matches at least a portion of the quotation in response to comparing the first plurality of audio parameters with the second plurality of audio parameters;
• and
• generate for display a search result comprising an identifier of a content item associated with the quotation.
