Abstract

Features are disclosed for reducing errors in speech recognition processing. Methods for reducing errors can include receiving multiple speech recognition hypotheses based on an utterance indicative of a command or query of a user and determining a command or query within a grammar having a least amount of difference from one of the speech recognition hypotheses. The determination of the least amount of difference may be based at least in part on a comparison of individual subword units along at least some of the sequence paths of the speech recognition hypotheses and the grammar. For example, the comparison may be performed on the phoneme level instead of the word level.
