A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922947B2) discloses a computer-program product stored in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that aims to improve audio transcription accuracy through machine learning. The product includes operations such as constructing a training data corpus with labeled audio transcription samples, configuring a machine learning model, and adapting the model based on anomalous data. The model is then used to correct transcription errors in predicted audio transcripts, enhancing the overall accuracy of speech-to-text services. The system also involves generating task-specific instructions for the model to identify and correct errors, ensuring a minimum level of transcription efficacy.

Furthermore, the patent details a method and system for implementing the described technology, involving processors, memory, and computer-readable instructions. The system is designed to construct training data, train machine learning models, and execute them within speech-to-text services to enhance transcription accuracy. By generating corrected audio transcripts based on predicted transcripts, the system aims to improve the quality of transcribed audio data. Additionally, the system includes features such as identifying task types, utilizing weights and biases for adjustments, and ensuring a minimum level of accuracy for corrected transcripts. Overall, the technology outlined in the patent focuses on leveraging machine learning to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of audio transcription processes within speech-to-text services.
