Analyzing recognition results
SpeechKit API v3 can analyze audio during recognition and return additional information together with recognition results: presence and start/end timestamps of particular words or phrases, durations of utterances and pauses, speech rate, word count of utterances, and other speech analysis labels and metrics.
Audio classifiers
Note
Audio classifiers are only supported for Russian speech.
You can apply classifiers both to intermediate and final recognition results. To enable a classifier, define the recognition_classifier parameter in the session options. Classifier results will arrive in a separate message immediately after the events specified in the classifier settings. For classifiers, these may be the events of the partial, eou_update, or final type.
SpeechKit supports the following classifiers:
| Classifier | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
formal_greeting |
Formal greeting like "good afternoon" or "good morning" | Probability of a phrase belonging to the formal greeting class |
informal_greeting |
Informal greeting like "hi" or "hey there" | Probability of a phrase belonging to the informal greeting class |
formal_farewell |
Formal farewell like "goodbye" or "have a nice day" | Probability of a phrase belonging to the formal farewell class |
informal_farewell |
Informal farewell like "bye-bye" or "adios" | Probability of a phrase belonging to the informal farewell class |
insult |
Insults like "idiot" or "jerk" | Probability of a phrase belonging to the insult class |
profanity |
Profanity | Probability of a phrase belonging to the profanity class |
gender |
Gender | Probability values for male and female |
negative |
Negativity | Probability of a recognized phrase being negative |
answerphone |
Answerphone | Probability of an answerphone response |

Audio statistics
SpeechKit allows you to analyze dialogs and utterances of specific speakers and calculate statistics for each participant and the dialog as a whole. Analysis results include the discrete audio characteristics and the descriptive statistics for distributions of these values.
For each speaker in the dialog, you can get:
- Speed and length of speech
- Duration of pauses
- Count and sizes of utterances
For the whole dialog, you can get:
- Duration of parallel speech and pauses
- Interruption count and timestamps
To enable calculation of statistics, in the session settings, define the speech_analysis parameter.
recognize_options = stt_pb2.StreamingOptions(
recognition_model=stt_pb2.RecognitionModelOptions(
..
speech_analysis = stt_pb2.SpeechAnalysisOptions(
enable_speaker_analysis = True,
enable_conversation_analysis = True,
descriptive_statistics_quantiles = [0.5, 0.9]
),
...
)
You will receive the analysis results in the speaker_analysis and conversation_analysis messages.
