Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes receiving an audio signal and initiating speech recognition tasks by a plurality of speech recognition systems (SRS's). Each SRS is configured to generate a recognition result specifying possible speech included in the audio signal and a confidence value indicating a confidence in a correctness of the speech result. The method also includes completing a portion of the speech recognition tasks including generating one or more recognition results and one or more confidence values for the one or more recognition results, determining whether the one or more confidence values meets a confidence threshold, aborting a remaining portion of the speech recognition tasks for SRS's that have not generated a recognition result, and outputting a final recognition result based on at least one of the generated one or more speech results.

Abstract: In one implementation a computer-implemented method includes generating a group of telephone contacts for a first user, wherein the generating includes identifying a second user as a contact of the first user based upon a determination that the second user has at least a threshold email-based association with the first user; and adding the identified second user to the group of telephone contacts for the first user. The method further includes receiving a first request to connect a first telephone device associated with the first user to a second telephone device associated with the second user. The method also includes identifying a contact identifier of the second telephone device using the generated group of telephone contacts for the first user, and initiating a connection between the first telephone device and the second telephone device using the identified contact identifier.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining pronunciations for particular terms. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining audio samples of speech corresponding to a particular term and obtaining candidate pronunciations for the particular term. Further actions include generating, for each candidate pronunciation for the particular term and audio sample of speech corresponding to the particular term, a score reflecting a level of similarity between of the candidate pronunciation and the audio sample. Additional actions include aggregating the scores for each candidate pronunciation and adding one or more candidate pronunciations for the particular term to a pronunciation lexicon based on the aggregated scores for the candidate pronunciations.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for transcribing utterances into written text are disclosed. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions of obtaining a lexicon model that maps phones to spoken text and obtaining a language model that assigns probabilities to written text. Further includes generating a transducer that maps the written text to the spoken text, the transducer mapping multiple items of the written text to an item of the spoken text. Additionally, the actions include constructing a decoding network for transcribing utterances into written text, by composing the lexicon model, the inverse of the transducer, and the language model.

Abstract: Speech recognition systems may perform the following operations: receiving audio; recognizing the audio using language models for different languages to produce recognition candidates for the audio, where the recognition candidates are associated with corresponding recognition scores; identifying a candidate language for the audio; selecting a recognition candidate based on the recognition scores and the candidate language; and outputting data corresponding to the selected recognition candidate as a recognized version of the audio.
