An automated speech recognition (ASR) transcript of at least a portion of a media content is obtained from an ASR tool. Suggested words are received for corrected words of the ASR transcript of the media content. Features are obtained using at least the suggested words or the corrected words. The features include features relating to sound similarities between the suggested words and the corrected words. The features are input into a machine learning (ML) model to obtain a determination regarding a validity of the suggested words. Responsive to the suggested words constituting a valid suggestion, the suggested words are incorporated into the ASR transcript. At least a portion of the ASR transcript is transmitted to a user device in conjunction with at least a portion of the media content.
