Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining hint words that improve the accuracy of automated speech recognition (ASR) systems. Hint words are typically determined in the context of a user issuing voice commands in connection with a voice interface system, however, a voice interface system may capture terms from overheard content and/or conversations. A system may determine a sliding window of hint words using set of qualifier rules. The system may capture audio, e.g., from a conversation or played back content, as a first input and decipher a plurality of words including a qualifying first term added to the hint words. The voice interface system may capture more audio as a second input and decipher a second plurality of words including a qualifying second term. The first term may be removed from the set of hint words, e.g., when the second term is added or after an expiration time.
