Abstract

An approach to correcting transcriptions of speech recognition models may be provided. A list of similar sounding phonemes from associated with the phonemes of high frequency terms may be generated for a particular node associated with a virtual assistant. An utterance may be transcribed and receive a confidence score regarding the correctness of the transcription based on audio metrics and other factors. The phonemes of the utterance can be compared to the phonemes of the high frequency terms from the list and a score for the matching phonemes and similar sounding phonemes can be determined. If it is determined the sounds similar score for a term from the high frequency term list is above a threshold, the transcription can be replaced with the term, providing a corrected transcription.
