Problems solved by technology

However, the speech recognizer used to transcribe spoken queries into text may misrecognize the spoken input, resulting in the submitted query having a different meaning than the user intended
Therefore, while the transcribed word may be spelled correctly, it may not be the correct word, i.e., the word the speaker actually said or intended

Abstract

Methods and systems for providing alternative query suggestions are provided. For example, a speech recognition component may receive a spoken natural language expression and convert it into a text query. A spoken natural language expression may include one or more words, terms and / or phrases. Phonetically confusable segments of the text query can be identified by a classifier component. The classifier component can determine at least one alternative query based on at least identifying a phonetically confusing segment of the text query. The classifier may further determine whether to suggest at least one alternative query based on whether the at least one alternative query is meaningful and / or useful. When it is determined to suggest at least one alternative query, the at least one alternative query may be provided to the user interface display and displayed on the user interface display.

Description

Background technique [0001] The search application can receive search queries in text and / or voice / voice form. Errors in text queries typically occur when users type a search query. For example, a user might misspell a word while typing. In this case, the search application can identify the misspelled word and provide the user with an alternative search query that includes the correction of the misspelled word. However, voiced queries are often compared to spell-correcting language models, and transcripts of submitted queries are usually spelled correctly. However, speech recognizers used to transcribe spoken queries into text may misrecognize the spoken input, resulting in the submitted query having a different meaning than the user intended. Thus, while the transcribed word may be spelled correctly, it may not be the correct word, i.e., the word the speaker actually said or intended. In this regard, misrecognized speech input is no longer just a misspelled word error. A...
