Abstract
Hybrid transcription of audio relies on having one or more layers of transcribers who review transcriptions generated by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in order to correct errors that are found in the transcriptions. When it comes to determining how much human reviewing is needed, such as determining how many layers of review to use, there is a cost/benefit tradeoff to consider. Some embodiments described herein utilize a machine learning-based approach for estimating quality of hybrid transcription of audio. In one embodiment, a computer generates a transcription of a segment of audio using an ASR system, which is subsequently reviewed by a transcriber. The computer then calculates, based on properties of the review by the transcriber, a value indicative of an expected accuracy of the reviewed transcription. The computer may suggest a second transcriber review the reviewed transcription if the value indicative of the expected accuracy is below a threshold.
