Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for speech recognition, and more specifically to training domain or accent-specific speech recognition language models. The system can receive a starting ASR (Automated Speech Recognition) neural network model configured to receive audio in the language and generate a starting transcript of the audio. The system can also receive a request to generate a specialized version of the starting ASR neural network model. Based on the request, the system can execute an analysis of the audio, resulting in timestamps and a confidence of each word in the audio. The system can then execute the starting ASR neural network model, resulting in a starting transcript. The system can then generate training data using the timestamps, confidences, and the starting transcript, and train an updated ASR based on the training data, resulting in the specialized version of the starting ASR neural network model.
