METHODS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVED SPEECH RECOGNITION AND TRANSCRIPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521683 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVED SPEECH RECOGNITION AND TRANSCRIPTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for improved speech recognition and transcription of user utterances. A speech recognition computing device processes user utterances and uses acoustic features to determine actions based on the transcription.

  • Speech recognition computing device processes user utterances
  • Acoustic features used to determine actions based on transcription

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in:

  • Voice-controlled devices
  • Transcription services
  • Language learning tools

Problems Solved

The technology solves issues related to:

  • Accurate transcription of user utterances
  • Efficient speech recognition
  • Improved user experience in voice interfaces

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced accuracy in speech recognition
  • Faster transcription of user utterances
  • Improved usability of voice-controlled devices

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Speech-to-text software for businesses
  • Voice-activated virtual assistants
  • Transcription services for professionals

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art is the use of acoustic features in speech recognition systems to improve transcription accuracy. Another could be the development of voice-controlled devices with enhanced speech recognition capabilities.

Unanswered Questions

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for improved speech recognition and transcription of user utterances are described herein. A user utterance may be processed by a speech recognition computing device. One or more acoustic features associated with the user utterance may be used to determine whether one or more actions are to be performed based on a transcription of the user utterance.
