Abstract
An apparatus includes processor(s) to: perform pre-processing operations including derive an audio noise level of speech audio of a speech data set, derive a first relative weighting for first and second segmentation techniques for identifying likely sentence pauses in the speech audio based on the audio noise level, and select likely sentence pauses for a converged set of likely sentence pauses from likely sentence pauses identified by the first and/or second segmentation techniques based on the first relative weighting; and perform speech-to-text processing operations including divide the speech data set into data segments representing speech segments of the speech audio based on the converged set of likely sentence pauses, and derive a second relative weighting based on the audio noise level for selecting words indicated by an acoustic model or by a language model as being most likely spoken in the speech audio for inclusion in a transcript.
