Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Speech recognition systems may perform the following operations: receiving audio; recognizing the audio using language models for different languages to produce recognition candidates for the audio, where the recognition candidates are associated with corresponding recognition scores; identifying a candidate language for the audio; selecting a recognition candidate based on the recognition scores and the candidate language; and outputting data corresponding to the selected recognition candidate as a recognized version of the audio.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving audio that encodes an utterance; selecting, from among multiple automated speech recognizers that are each associated with a different natural language, a particular subset of the automated speech recognizers; providing the audio to (i) a first automated speech recognizer of the particular subset that is associated with a first natural language, (ii) a second automated speech recognizer of the particula…
