Advanced Speech Recognition Software

What is Advanced Speech Recognition system?

Advanced Speech Recognition (ASR) enables a person’s natural spoken language to be converted into words – transcribing the audio into text, so that it can be used by software applications. The new generation of ASR resources like Amazon Transcribe and Google Speech To Text use vast amounts of data to create highly effective language models which can even understand uncommon words like place names, product names, or even scientific terms. Importantly, ASR no longer relies on a pre-programmed grammar to interpret the meaning of phrases, it can even create a transcription that includes punctuation. Advanced ASR features also allow users to tweak behaviour by adding extra words to the language model themselves.

How does Advanced Speech Recognition work?

It all starts by Oration automatically greeting callers with “How can I help?”. Integrating the very latest technology from Amazon and Google, Oration’s ASR capabilities are used to recognise a caller's response and create a transcription. The Oration Interpreter then extracts information from the text to apply an ‘intent’ to the call received.

Practical example

The caller says “I would like to cancel my credit card as I have lost it at the beach” ASR transcribes as “I’d like to cancel my credit card as I lost it at the bach”.

Interpreter extracts “Credit card: Cancellation” The ASR system has made some small minor mistakes but they do not alter the meaning of the phrase and the interpreter correctly extracts the intent from the request.

The caller says “yeah my date of birth is fifth November nineteen eight nine”.

ASR transcribes as “yeah my date of birth is fifth of November nineteen eight nine” Interpreter extracts “DOB: 5/11/1989”.

The ASR system has transcribed the audio correctly and the interpreter extracts the formatted information - in this case, a date of birth - and returns it in a standard date format suitable for an application to use.

What makes Oration different?
