Abstract
Knowing what accent is spoken can assist automatic speech recondition (ASR) systems to more accurately transcribe audio. In one embodiment, a system includes a frontend server configured to transmit, to a backend server, an audio recording that includes speech of one or more people in a room over a period spanning at least two hours. At sonic time during the first hour of the period, the backend server provides a transcriber with a certain segment of the audio recording, and receives, from the transcriber, after the transcriber listened to a certain segment, an indication indicative of an accent of a person who spoke in the certain segment. The backend server then provides the indication to an ASR system to be utilized to generate a transcription of an additional portion of the audio recording, which was recorded after the first twenty minutes of the period.
