Abstract

One embodiment provides a method that includes obtaining a default language corpus. A second language corpus is obtained based on a second language preference. A first transcription of an utterance is received using the default language corpus and natural language processing (NLP). At least one problem word in the first transcription is determined based on an associated grammatical relevance to neighboring words in the first transcription. Upon determining that a first probability score is below a first threshold, an acoustic lookup is performed for an audible match for the problem word in the first transcription based on an associated acoustical relevance. Upon determining that a second probability score is below a second threshold, it is determined whether a match for the problem word exists in the secondary language corpus. Upon determining that the match exists in the secondary language corpus, a second transcription for the utterance is provided.
