Abstract
Being able to rapidly and accurately transcribe long audio recordings, such as same-day transcription of multi-hour legal depositions, is a challenging task. Hybrid transcription, which involves automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems generating initial transcriptions that are then reviewed by human transcribers, can be used to tackle this challenge. However, hybrid transcription may be stymied when the transcribers cannot resolve certain issues in the ASR-generated transcriptions. This disclosure describes rapid resolution of transcription-related inquiries of transcribers. In one embodiment, a computer receives an audio recording that includes speech of multiple people in a room and generates transcriptions of segments of the audio recording utilizing an ASR system. These transcriptions are provided for review of transcribers. The computer receives questions from the transcribers regarding the transcriptions, and transmits the questions to a server in the room, which transmits back answers to the questions by the people in the room.
