Computer-implemented system and method for transcription error reduction
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for transcription error reduction, comprising:
- a database to store a stream of audio data comprising utterances, wherein each utterance is assigned a transcribed value and a confidence score; and
a server comprising a central processing unit, memory, an input port to receive the utterances, and an output port, wherein the central processing unit is configured to perform the following steps;
identify those utterances with confidence scores that fall below a confidence threshold as questionable utterances;
place at least one of the questionable utterances into a pool of related utterances also determined to be questionable;
determine whether the pool satisfies a size threshold within a predetermined amount of time;
obtain a sample of the questionable utterances in the pool when the pool satisfies the size threshold within the predetermined amount of time; and
provide the sample of questionable utterances to at least one human transcriber for verification, wherein the steps reduce an amount of manual transcription required by a transcription system.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for transcription error reduction is provided. A transcribed value and a confidence score are assigned to each utterance in a stream of audio data. Those utterances with confidence scores that fall below a confidence threshold are identified as questionable utterances. At least one of the questionable utterances is placed into a pool of related utterances also determined to be questionable. A determination is made as to whether the pool satisfies a size threshold within a predetermined amount of time. A sample of the questionable utterances from the pool is obtained when the pool satisfies the size threshold within the predetermined amount of time. The sample of questionable utterances is provided to at least one human transcriber for verification.
