Abstract
A real-time name mispronunciation detection feature can enable a user to receive instant feedback anytime they have mispronounced another person's name in an online meeting. The feature can receive audio input of a speaker and obtain a transcript of the audio input; identify a name from text of the transcript based on names of meeting participants; and extract a portion of the audio input corresponding to the name identified from the text of the transcript. The feature can obtain a reference pronunciation for the name using a user identifier associated with the name; and can obtain a pronunciation score for the name based on a comparison between the reference pronunciation for the name and the portion of the audio input corresponding to the name. The feature can then determine whether the pronunciation score is below a threshold; and in response, notify the speaker of a pronunciation error.
