Abstract:
A system and method for performing dual mode speech recognition, employing a local recognition module on a mobile device and a remote recognition engine on a server device. The system accepts a spoken query from a user, and both the local recognition module and the remote recognition engine perform speech recognition operations on the query, returning a transcription and confidence score, subject to a latency cutoff time. If both sources successfully transcribe the query, then the system accepts the result having the higher confidence score. If only one source succeeds, then that result is accepted. In either case, if the remote recognition engine does succeed in transcribing the query, then a client vocabulary is updated if the remote system result includes information not present in the client vocabulary.
Abstract:
The technology disclosed relates to a system and method for fast, accurate and parallelizable speech search, called Crystal Decoder. It is particularly useful for search applications, as opposed to dictation. It can achieve both speed and accuracy, without sacrificing one for the other. It can search different variations of records in a reference database without a significant increase in elapsed processing time. This is accomplished by first accessing the database, and for each word representation in the database, searching an utterance for likely instances of the word representation utilizing multiple parallel processors. Even the main decoding part can be parallelized as the number of words increase to maintain a fast response time.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for searching cloud-based databases are provided herein. A service provider may have a need to make their database(s) searchable through search technology. However, the service provider may not have the resources to implement such search technology. The search technology may allow for search queries against these cloud-based databases. The technology described herein provides a solution addressing the service provider's need, by giving a search technology that furnishes search results in a fast, accurate manner. In further embodiments, systems and methods to monetize those search results are also described herein.

Abstract:
A method for non-text-based identification of a selected item of stored music. The first broad portion of the method focuses on building a music identification database. That process requires capturing a tag of the selected musical item, and processing the tag to develop reference key to the same. Then the tag is stored, together with the reference key and an association to the stored music. The database is built by collecting a multiplicity of tags. The second broad portion of the method is retrieving a desired item of stored music from the database. That process calls for capturing a query tag from a user, and processing the query tag to develop a query key to the same. The query tag is compared to reference keys stored in the database to identify the desired item of stored music.

Abstract:
A method for identifying with a broadcast stream. That method includes receiving one or more broadcast streams, from which it generates and stores an audio fingerprint of a selected portion of each received broadcast stream. A query is received, and the method generates an audio fingerprint of the query. From that point, the method continues by identifying audio content from the query, using the query audio fingerprint and a database of indexed audio content. The method concludes by identifying the source of the query using the query audio fingerprint and the stored audio fingerprints. Embodiments of the method further include predictively caching audio fingerprint sequences and corresponding audio item identifiers from a server after storing audio fingerprints extracted from the broadcast stream; and using the predictively cached audio fingerprint sequences to identify an audio item within the audio signal based on at least some additional audio fingerprints of the audio signal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that recognize audio queries and select related information to return in response to recognition of the audio queries. The technology disclosed facilitates easy designation of aggregate user experience categories and custom audio references to be recognized. It facilitates linking and return of selected information in response to recognition of audio queries that match the designated aggregate user experience categories or custom audio references to be recognized.
