Request for getting alternative matches based on confidence for STT

Do you want to request a feature, report a bug, or ask a question about pywit?

Yes, I couldn't find a feature on WIT to get the next best alternatives to the STT (Speech-to-text) predictions.

What is the current behavior?

Currently, during Speech-to-Text we get the phrase that has the highest confidence according to WIT and the training we have done. But, we do not have the possibility to get the nearest alternatives to that spoken phrase. For eg. check

This could be particularly useful for:

• while making chatbots and asking the user for confirmation on something they said
• For correcting the prediction of a word while converting to text based on context of the sentence.
• for rare words that isn't accurately predicted by WIT.

What is the expected behavior?

would it be possible to get 2-5 of the next best possible interpretations that the model makes from the audio file?

If applicable, what is the App ID where you are experiencing this issue? If you do not provide this, we cannot help.

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing pywit's speech-to-text request and response handling, then verify whether Wit.ai exposes ranked alternatives and confidence values. Done means establishing whether 2–5 alternatives can be returned and documenting or implementing the supported behavior.
