1. A method of indexing speech, comprising: associating a first phonetic sequence with a first position in an audio signal using a phonetic recognizer; associating said first phonetic sequence to a first linguistic element based on a first parameter; associating a second linguistic element with a second position in said audio signal using a large vocabulary speech recognizer (LVSR); comparing said first position and said second position to determine a phrase window; comparing said first linguistic element to said second linguistic element if said phrase window meets a first criteria; and adjusting said first parameter based upon a result of said step of comparing said first linguistic element wherein said step of associating said second linguistic element is performed on a lesser portion of said audio signal than said step of associating said first phonetic sequence with said first position; wherein said step of associating said first phonetic sequence to said first linguistic element also associates said first linguistic element with a confidence value and said lesser portion of said audio signal is selected to correspond to said first linguistic element based upon said confidence value.
