Occurrences of one or more keywords in audio data are identified using a speech recognizer employing a language model to derive a transcript of the keywords. The transcript is converted into a phoneme sequence. The phonemes of the phoneme sequence are mapped to the audio data to derive a time-aligned phoneme sequence that is searched for occurrences of keyword phoneme sequences corresponding to the phonemes of the keywords. Searching includes computing a confusion matrix. The language model used by the speech recognizer is adapted to keywords by increasing the likelihoods of the keywords in the language model. For each potential occurrences keywords detected, a corresponding subset of the audio data may be played back to an operator to confirm whether the potential occurrences correspond to actual occurrences of the keywords.
