Do keywords affect Bluemix Watson speech recognition?


Watson's speech recognizer supports a list of keywords as a parameter, but I'm trying to figure out whether these keywords actually affect recognition. For example, if you were handing Watson an audio clip you knew to contain proper names that might not be properly recognized, would submitting these names as keywords increase the likelihood that Watson would properly recognize them? Do the keywords interact with the recognition itself?


Solution

  • unfortunately the answer is no, the words wont get added to the vocabulary just because you added them as keywords, so they wont be found.
