Abstract

Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of providing first text for display on a computing device of a user, the first text being provided from a first speech recognition engine based on first speech received from the computing device, and being displayed as a search query, receiving a speech correction indication from the computing device, the speech correction indication indicating a portion of the first text that is to be corrected, receiving second speech from the computing device, receiving second text from a second speech recognition engine based on the second speech, the second speech recognition engine being different from the first speech recognition engine, replacing the portion of the first text with the second text to provide a combined text, and providing the combined text for display on the computing device as a revised search query.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

providing, by the one or more processors, first text for display on a computing device of a user, the first text being provided from a first speech recognition engine based on first speech received from the computing device, and being displayed as a search query;

receiving, by the one or more processors, a speech correction indication from the computing device, the speech correction indication indicating a portion of the first text that is to be corrected;

receiving, by the one or more processors, second speech from the computing device;

receiving, by the one or more processors, second text from a second speech recognition engine based on the second speech, the second speech recognition engine being different from the first speech recognition engine;

replacing, by the one or more processors, the portion of the first text with the second text to provide a combined text; and

providing, by the one or more processors, the combined text for display on the computing device as a revised search query.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the portion comprises an entirety of the first text.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the portion comprises less than an entirety of the first text.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second speech recognition engine comprises the first speech recognition engine and at least one additional function.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the at least one additional function comprises selecting a potential text as the second text based on one or more entities associated with the first text.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving first search results based on the first text; and

providing the first search results for display on the computing device.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving second search results based on the second text; and

providing the second search results for display on the computing device in place of the first search results.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the speech correction indication comprises user selection of at least one word of a plurality of words of the first text.

9. A system comprising:

a data store for storing data; and

one or more processors configured to interact with the data store, the one or more processors being further configured to perform operations comprising;

providing first text for display on a computing device of a user, the first text being provided from a first speech recognition engine based on first speech received from the computing device, and being displayed as a search query;

receiving a speech correction indication from the computing device, the speech correction indication indicating a portion of the first text that is to be corrected;

receiving second speech from the computing device;

receiving second text from a second speech recognition engine based on the second speech, the second speech recognition engine being different from the first speech recognition engine;

replacing the portion of the first text with the second text to provide a combined text; and

providing the combined text for display on the computing device as a revised search query.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the portion comprises an entirety of the first text.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the portion comprises less than an entirety of the first text.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the second speech recognition engine comprises the first speech recognition engine and at least one additional function.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one additional function comprises selecting a potential text as the second text based on one or more entities associated with the first text.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein operations further comprise:

receiving first search results based on the first text; and

providing the first search results for display on the computing device.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein operations further comprise:

receiving second search results based on the second text; and

providing the second search results for display on the computing device in place of the first search results.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein the speech correction indication comprises user selection of at least one word of a plurality of words of the first text.

17. A computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

providing first text for display on a computing device of a user, the first text being provided from a first speech recognition engine based on first speech received from the computing device, and being displayed as a search query;

receiving a speech correction indication from the computing device, the speech correction indication indicating a portion of the first text that is to be corrected;

receiving second speech from the computing device;

receiving second text from a second speech recognition engine based on the second speech, the second speech recognition engine being different from the first speech recognition engine;

replacing the portion of the first text with the second text to provide a combined text; and

providing the combined text for display on the computing device as a revised search query.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the portion comprises an entirety of the first text.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the portion comprises less than an entirety of the first text.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 17, wherein the second speech recognition engine comprises the first speech recognition engine and at least one additional function.
