METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING LATENCY IN SPEECH RECOGNITION APPLICATIONS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for reducing latency in speech recognition applications. The method comprises receive first audio comprising speech from a user of a computing device, detecting an end of speech in the first audio, generating an ASR result based, at least in part, on a portion of the first audio prior to the detected end of speech, determining whether a valid action can be performed by a speech-enabled application installed on the computing device using the ASR result, and processing second audio when it is determined that a valid action cannot be performed by the speech-enabled application using the ASR result.

主权项

1. A computing device including a speech-enabled application installed thereon, the computing device comprising:
an input interface configured to receive first audio comprising speech from a user of the computing device; an automatic speech recognition (ASR) engine configured to:
detect based, at least in part, on a threshold time for endpointing, an end of speech in the first audio; andgenerate a first ASR result based, at least in part, on a portion of the first audio prior to the detected end of speech; and at least one processor programmed to:
determine whether a valid action can be performed by the speech-enabled application using the first ASR result; andinstruct the ASR engine to process second audio when it is determined that a valid action cannot be performed by the speech-enabled application using the first ASR result.
