Abstract
When transcribing large audio files, such as in the case of legal depositions, there are often many transcribers to choose from. Embodiments described herein enable calculation of expected accuracy of transcriptions by transcribers, which can be used to guide the selection of transcribers for specific tasks. In one embodiment, a computer receives a segment of an audio recording that includes speech of a person, and identifies an accent of the person and a topic of the segment. The computer generates feature values based on data that includes the accent and the topic, and utilizes a model to calculate, based on the feature values, an expected accuracy of a transcription of the segment by a certain transcriber. The model is generated based on training data that includes segments of previous audio recordings and values of accuracies of transcriptions, by the certain transcriber, of the segments.
