Abstract
Methods, computer program products and systems are described for speech-to-text conversion. A voice input is received from a user of an electronic device and contextual metadata is received that describes a context of the electronic device at a time when the voice input is received. Multiple base language models are identified, where each base language model corresponds to a distinct textual corpus of content. Using the contextual metadata, an interpolated language model is generated based on contributions from the base language models. The contributions are weighted according to a weighting for each of the base language models. The interpolated language model is used to convert the received voice input to a textual output. The voice input is received at a computer server system that is remote to the electronic device. The textual output is transmitted to the electronic device.
