Hints: Contextual Speech-to-Text

Updated 

Introducing the concept of enhancing ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) system accuracy and efficiency using data type hints.

​

Hints are used to bias the ASR system towards predicting transcriptions within specific contexts.

 

Adding Data Type Hints for Voice Bots

  • When gathering specific details (e.g., mobile numbers), include data type hints for the ASR system.

    • Use a hint such as 'numeric' to prioritize the recognition of numeric values.

    • Example: Improve extraction accuracy by prompting customers for their mobile number with the 'numeric' hint.

Enhancing Keyword Queries with Language and Entity Values

  • Deploy language and entity values to augment the voice bot's comprehension of keyword queries.

    • Create specific entity values for various card types (e.g., Debit Cards, Visa Cards, Master Cards).

    • Example: Customize entity values to accurately interpret user requests, such as identifying the intent to block a debit card when referencing a "Visa Card."

Optimizing ASR System for Targeted Keywords

  • Enhance the ASR system's ability to recognize specific keywords or phrases.

    • Provide relevant keywords to the ASR system to enhance accuracy in recognizing them.

    • Example: Use keywords like "previous month" or "current month" to ensure precise extraction of the desired time frame.

Adding Additional Hints

  • Tailor hints according to specific use cases within the Voicebot.

  • Contact the Voicebot Product Team to discuss requirements, and enable hints by emailing tickets@sprinklr.com.

    • Examples:

      • Numeric_5 (Hint for recognizing numeric values)

      • City (Hint for identifying city names)
