Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a complex audio signal which includes an intended audio signal and at least one interfering audio signal. The complex audio signal is converted into text which represents a plurality of words included in the complex audio signal, and at least some of the text is identified as representing words which correspond to the at least one interfering audio signal. The identified text is discarded, and a remaining portion of the text is evaluated to determine whether the remaining portion of the text represents words which convey the voice-based command at an accuracy that is in a predetermined range. Furthermore, the remaining portion of the text is output in response to determining that the remaining portion of the text represents words which convey the voice-based command at an accuracy that is in the predetermined range.
