Synthetic narrowband data generation for narrowband automatic speech recognition systems

Abstract:

A method for generating synthetic telephony narrowband data for training an automatic speech recognition model by receiving a broadband audio data file and then initiating a telephony call using a pre-configured telephone provider to play the broadband audio data file in the telephony call and to record and store audio data generated by transmission of the broadband audio data file in the telephony call, thereby generating the synthetic telephony narrowband data file from the broadband audio data file.
