Various types of noise and speaker stress represent the main problems for the recognition engine. Within the SHARE project, a dedicated domain specific training corpus was recorded to improve the robustness of the audio indexing service. An experimental evaluation showed that a speech recognition model trained with a small amount of domain specific data outperforms models based on a large set of already available data from other domains. Using the domain specific models, the number of false alarms produced in a noisy testing environment could be reduced by 80\%. rv:
