Correction menu enrichment with alternate choices and generation of choice lists in multi-pass recognition systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method employing at least one hardware implemented computer processor for user correction of speech recognition results comprising:
- displaying, via a user interface, to a user a speech recognition result for a given unknown speech input;
receiving, via the user interface, a user selection of a portion of the speech recognition result needing to be corrected;
for each of a plurality of different recognition post-processing tools, determining a respective ranked list of alternate recognition choices corresponding to the user selection of the portion of the speech recognition result needing to be corrected, the plurality of different recognition post-processing tools including at least two of text formatting, homophone data, and word compounding;
combining the alternate recognition choices determined by the each of the plurality of different recognition post-processing tools together to form a single ranked output list of the alternate recognition choices;
displaying, via the user interface, the single ranked output list to the user for substituting the user selection of the portion of the speech recognition result needing to be corrected with one of the alternate recognition choices, wherein determining the respective ranked list for each of the plurality of different recognition post-processing tools occurs during a limited time period; and
when each of the respective ranked lists fails to include a minimum number of alternate recognition choices and time allows, using some or all of the different recognition post-processing tools to determine additional ranked lists of alternate recognition choices for a next-best recognition choice corresponding to the user selection of the portion of the speech recognition result needing to be corrected; and
further combining the additional alternate recognition choices together into the output list of alternate recognition choices.

Abstract
A method is described for user correction of speech recognition results. A speech recognition result for a given unknown speech input is displayed to a user. A user selection is received of a portion of the recognition result needing to be corrected. For each of multiple different recognition data sources, a ranked list of alternate recognition choices is determined which correspond to the selected portion. The alternate recognition choices are concatenated or interleaved together and duplicate choices removed to form a single ranked output list of alternate recognition choices, which is displayed to the user. The method may be adaptive over time to derive preferences that can then be leveraged in the ordering of one choice list or across choice lists.
