Abstract

See full text

A method of utilizing metadata stored in a computer-readable medium to assist in the conversion of an audio stream to a text stream. The method compares personally identifiable data, such as a user's electronic address book and/or Caller/Recipient ID information (in the case of processing voice mail to text), to the n-best results generated by a speech recognition engine for each word that is output by the engine. A goal of this comparison is to correct a possible misrecognition of a spoken proper noun such as a name or company with its proper textual form or a spoken phone number to correctly formatted phone number with Arabic numerals to improve the overall accuracy of the output of the voice recognition system.
