Abstract

In this paper we will discuss an important topic such as the WER (word error rate). Imagine if we use an ASR system in a real event for approximately one hour or more. We would have a lot of issues like: the quality of the transcription of words, the time of the processing of the words spoken. And so a lot of WER will be produced by this event. The high rate of ASR errors have demanded the necessity to find better techniques in order to correct such errors. The improvement of the system it is a necessity not only to have a better stability of the system but also to prevent the high costs in order to use our resources in the best way as possible.
