A voice activity detection (VAD) module analyzes a media file, such as an audio file or a video file, to determine whether one or more frames of the media file include speech. A speech recognizer generates feedback relating to an accuracy of the VAD determination. The VAD module leverages the feedback to improve subsequent VAD determinations. The VAD module also utilizes a look-ahead window associated with the media file to adjust estimated probabilities or VAD decisions for previously processed frames.
