In a system and method for audio analysis in a cloud-based computerized an authentication (RTA) manager micro-service may send an audio packet to a voice processor micro-service. The voice processor may extract features of the audio. The RTA manager may obtain the extracted features from the voice processor; calculate, based on the extracted features, a quality grade of the audio packet, and send the extracted features to an at least one voice biometrics engine if the quality grade is above a threshold. Each of the at least one voice biometrics engines may be configured to generate a voiceprint of the audio packet, based on the extracted features of the audio packet and to perform at least one of: authenticate a speaker, detect fraudsters, and enrich a previously stored voiceprint of the speaker with the voiceprint of the audio packet.

A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

A method and apparatus for simulating movement within a multi-dimensional space by selecting and reproducing a particular one of a plurality of selectable sequences of video images subsequent to a given sequence of video images. The apparatus comprises an interactive random access video disc system for storing the sequences of video images. Video image windowing means provides as a video output only a predetermined 'window' portion of each retrieved video image. The window portion of an ending image of a given retrieved sequence substantially duplicates the window portion of a starting image of a retrieved sequence reproduced immediately subsequent to the given sequence, thereby providing a relatively imperceptible transition between sequences. A method for numbering frames on the video disc ensures that a jump between images in any sequence or to an image in a subsequent sequence can be accomplished within a predetermined number of tracks and within a predetermined time, in order to prevent pauses or blankings of the output video images.
