Abstract

When transcribing audio recordings, such as legal depositions, phrases may be repeated throughout the recordings, but these repeated phrases get transcribed incorrectly by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. In order to assist a transcriber to correctly resolve such phrases, some embodiments described herein involve a computer that receives an audio recording that includes speech, generates a transcription of the audio recording utilizing an ASR system, and clusters segments of the audio recording into clusters of similar utterances. The computer provides a transcriber with certain segments of the audio recording, which include similar utterances belonging to a certain cluster, along with transcriptions of the certain segments. The computer receives from the transcriber: an indication of which of the certain segments include repetitions of a phrase, and a correct transcription of the phrase. The computer then updates the transcription of the audio recording based on the indication and the correct transcription.
