Appl. No.:

17/875910

Inventors:

- Ra'anana, IL
Robert William MORRIS - Decatur GA, US
Peter S. CARDILLO - Atlanta GA, US
Maria KUNIN - San Rafael CA, US

Assignee:

Nice Ltd. - Ra'anana

International Classification:

G10L 15/02
G10L 15/08

Abstract:

A text search query including one or more words may be received. An ASR index created for an audio recording may be searched over using the query to produce ASR search results including words, each word associated with a confidence score. For each of the words in the ASR search results associated with a confidence score below a threshold (and in some cases having one or more preceding words in the ASR index and one or more subsequent words in the ASR index), a phonetic representation of the audio recording may be searched for the word having the confidence score below the threshold, where it occurs in the audio recording, possibly after the one or more preceding words and in the audio recording before the one or more subsequent words, to produce phonetic search results. Search results may be returned include ASR and phonetic results.

International Classification:

H04M 3/493
G10L 21/00

US Classification:

7042701

Abstract:

In an aspect, in general, a computer implemented method includes receiving a query phrase, receiving a first data representing a first audio signal including an interaction among a number of speakers and at least one segment of one or more known audio items, receiving a second data comprising temporal locations of the at least one segment of one or more known audio items in the first audio signal, and searching the first data to identify putative instances of the query phrase that are temporally excluded from the temporal locations of the at least one segment of one or more known audio items.
