Systems and methods for automatic repair of speech recognition engine output

A system (100) comprising:

• one or more data storage devices (102) operatively coupled to one or more hardware processors (104) and configured to store instructions configured for execution by the one or more hardware processors to:
• receive a text output from a general purpose automatic speech recognition (GP-ASR) engine;
• identify in real-time, a current environment of a speaker associated with the text output based on one or more environment variables associated thereof;
• the identified current environment being classified as at least one of a broad classification and a granular classification;
• and
• automatically and selectively correct the output of the GP-ASR by replacing one or more erroneously recognized terms in the text output with one or more best-fit terms based on at least a fitness function and a pre-determined threshold associated with the identified current environment.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer readable program embodied therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• receive a text output from a general purpose automatic speech recognition (GP-ASR) engine;
• identify in real-time, a current environment of a speaker associated with the text output based on one or more environment variables associated thereof;
• and
• automatically and selectively correct the output of the GP-ASR by replacing one or more erroneously recognized terms in the text output with one or more best-fit terms based on at least a fitness function and a pre-determined threshold associated with the identified current environment.
