Abstract
A speech recognition system utilizing automatic speech recognition techniques such as end-pointing techniques in conjunction with beamforming and/or signal processing to isolate speech from one or more speaking users from multiple received audio signals and to detect the beginning and/or end of the speech based at least in part on the isolation. Audio capture devices such as microphones may be arranged in a beamforming array to receive the multiple audio signals. Multiple audio sources including speech may be identified in different beams and processed.
