Domain specific correction of output from automatic speech recognition

Abstract:

Provided are techniques for domain specific correction of output from automatic speech recognition. An output of an automatic speech recognition engine is received. An alphanumeric sequence is extracted from the output, where the alphanumeric sequence represents an erroneous translation by the automatic speech recognition engine. Candidates for the alphanumeric sequence are generated. The candidates are ranked based on scores associated with the candidates. A candidate of the candidates having a highest score of the scores is selected. The output is corrected by replacing the alphanumeric sequence with the selected candidate. The corrected output is returned.
