Abstract

A method and system are provided of spoken document retrieval using multiple search transcription indices. The method includes receiving a query input formed of one or more query terms and determining a type of a query term, wherein a type includes a term in a speech recognition vocabulary or a term not in a speech recognition vocabulary. One or more indices of search transcriptions are selected for searching the query term based on the type of the query term. The one or more indices are generated using different speech transcription methods. The results for the query term are scored by the one or more indices and the results of the one or more indices for the query term are merged. The results of the one or more query terms are then merged to provide the results for the query.
