In some embodiments, the recognition results produced by a speech processing system (which may include two or more recognition results, including a top recognition result and one or more alternative recognition results) based on an analysis of a speech input, are evaluated for indications of potential significant errors. In some embodiments, the recognition results may be evaluated to determine whether a meaning of any of the alternative recognition results differs from a meaning of the top recognition result in a manner that is significant for a domain, such as the medical domain. In some embodiments, words and/or phrases that may be confused by an ASR system may be determined and associated in sets of words and/or phrases. Words and/or phrases that may be determined include those that change a meaning of a phrase or sentence when included in the phrase/sentence.
A method of processing results of a recognition by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system on an utterance, the results comprising two or more results identified by the ASR system as likely to be accurate recognition results for the utterance, the two or more results comprising a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is identified by the ASR system as most likely among the two or more results to be an accurate recognition result, the method comprising:
At least one computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to carry out a method of processing results of a recognition by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system on an utterance, the results comprising two or more results identified by the ASR system as likely to be accurate recognition results for the utterance, the two or more results comprising a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is identified by the ASR system as most likely among the two or more results to be an accurate recognition result, the method comprising:
