US Patent 10923111 Speech detection and speech recognition

A system configured to recognize text represented by speech may determine that a first portion of audio data corresponds to speech from a first speaker and that a second portion of audio data corresponds to speech from the first speaker and a second speaker. Features of the first portion are compared to features of the second portion to determine a similarity therebetween. Based on this similarity, speech from the first speaker is distinguished from speech from the second speaker and text corresponding to speech from the first speaker is determined.
