Abstract
The technology of the present application provides a modified language model to allow for the recognition of speech containing types of disfluency. The modified language model includes a plurality of n-grams where an n-gram comprises a sequent of words. The language model also has at least one synthetic n-gram where the synthetic is a naturally occurring n-gram combined with a disfluency token. The disfluency token is representative of multiple types of disfluency and multiple pronunciations thereof.
