1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method of processing results of a recognition by an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system on an utterance, the results comprising two or more results identified by the ASR system as likely to be accurate recognition results for the utterance, the two or more results comprising a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is identified by the ASR system as most likely among the two or more results to be an accurate recognition result, the method comprising: evaluating the first result using a medical fact extractor to extract a first set of one or more medical facts; evaluating the second result using the medical fact extractor to extract a second set of one or more medical facts; determining whether the first set of one or more medical facts has a meaning that is different in a medically significant way from a meaning of the second set of one or more medical facts; and in response to determining that the first set of one or more medical facts has a meaning that is different in a medically significant way from the meaning of the second set of one or more medical facts, triggering an alert, wherein the determining whether the first set of one or more medical facts has a meaning that is different in a medically significant way from the second set of one or more medical facts comprises: determining whether the first set comprises a fact having a fact type of a group of fact types consisting of a diagnosis fact type, a symptom fact type, and a treatment fact type; when it is determined that the first set comprises the fact having the fact type, determining whether the second set comprises the fact having the fact type; and in response to determining that the second set does not comprise the fact having the fact type, determining that the second set has a meaning that differs from a meaning of the first set in a medically significant way.
