Speech recognition error correction apparatus

A method for correcting a speech recognition error comprising:

• storing a correction network, where a speech recognition result string, which is a result of performing speech recognition on a series of speech data, and a correction result by a user for the speech recognition result string are associated, in a correction network memory;
• calculating a difference between a speech recognition result string of an error correction target, which is a result of performing speech recognition on a new series of speech data, and the correction network stored in the correction network memory;
• and
• when a value indicating the difference is equal to or less than a threshold, performing error correction for a speech recognition error portion in the speech recognition result string of the error correction target by using the correction network to generate a speech recognition error correction result string.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a speech recognition error correction program for causing a computer to:

• in order to correct a speech recognition error portion in a speech recognition result string, which is a result of performing speech recognition on a series of speech data,
• perform speech recognition for a new series of speech data to generate a speech recognition result string of an error correction target;
• calculate a difference between a pre-stored correction network, where the speech recognition result string, which is a result of performing the speech recognition on the series of speech data, and a correction result by a user for the speech recognition result string are associated, and the speech recognition result string of the error correction target;
• and
• when a value indicating the difference is equal to or less than a threshold, perform error correction on a speech recognition error portion in the speech recognition result string of the error correction target by using the correction network to generate a speech recognition error correction result string.
