About the team
Dialpad's Speech Recognition Engineers are responsible for creating some of the best models in existence for real-time transcription of customers' calls. Our engineers use cutting-edge techniques to ensure that each user has the best possible experience with our transcription service. Members of the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) team regularly perform research and experimentation on the latest ASR techniques, while developing, releasing, and supporting production-ready models.
Dialpad’s ASR team plays a foundational role in our Ai products; everything derives from high-quality call transcripts. This team collaborates closely with the Ai-DATA (analytics and annotation), Ai Engineering (back-end infrastructure), and NLP teams to constantly improve customer-facing Ai products, such as call summaries, action items, and interesting moments.
Members of the team are also involved in the wider ASR community; we attend conferences and submit papers to them. The team hosts regular sessions where the latest community research is discussed and internal experimentation is presented, and engineers also invest significant time examining, testing, and contributing to new open-source tools. Articles by team members that highlight our work are continually published on the internet.
