A method is described for predicting acoustic feature variability by analyzing the consensus and relative entropy of phoneme posterior probability distributions obtained with different acoustic models having the same type of observations. Variability prediction is used for diagnosis of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. When errors are likely to occur, different feature sets are considered for correcting recognition results. Experimental results are provided on the CH1 Italian portion of AURORA3
