Abstract
Correcting incorrect text associated with recognition errors in computer-implemented speech recognition includes receiving a selection of a word from a recognized utterance. The selection indicates a bound of a portion of the recognized utterance to be corrected. A first recognition correction is produced based on a comparison between a first alternative transcript and the recognized utterance. A second recognition correction is produced based on a comparison between a second alternative transcript and the recognized utterance. The duration of the first recognition correction differs from the duration of the second recognition correction. A portion of the recognition result that is replaced with one of the first recognition correction and the second recognition correction. includes at one bound a word indicated by the selection and extends for the duration of the one of the first recognition correction and the second recognition correction with which the portion is replaced.
