Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for extracting information during a human-to-human mono-lingual or multi-lingual dialog between two speakers are disclosed. Information from either the recognized speech (or the translation thereof) by the second speaker and/or the recognized speech by the first speaker (or the translation thereof) is extracted. The extracted information is then entered into an electronic form stored in a data store.

1-40. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving a first speech input from a first speaker;
- determining, by a speech translation system, a first recognized speech result based on the speech input;
- determining, by the speech translation system, whether there exists a recognition ambiguity in the first recognized speech result, wherein the recognition ambiguity indicates more than one possible match for the first recognized speech result;
- upon a determination that there is recognition ambiguity in the first recognized speech result of the first speaker, determining a confidence score based on the recognition ambiguity;
- and
- responsive to the confidence score being below a threshold, issuing a first disambiguation query to the first speaker via the speech translation system, wherein a response to the first disambiguation query resolves the recognition ambiguity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive a first speech input from a first speaker;
- determine, by a speech translation system, a first recognized speech result based on the speech input;
- determine, by the speech translation system, whether there exists a recognition ambiguity in the first recognized speech result, wherein the recognition ambiguity indicates more than one possible match for the first recognized speech result;
- upon a determination that there is recognition ambiguity in the first recognized speech result of the first speaker, determine a confidence score based on the recognition ambiguity;
- and
- responsive to the confidence score being below a threshold, issue a first disambiguation query to the first speaker via the speech translation system, wherein a response to the first disambiguation query resolves the recognition ambiguity.
