Speech Recognition as a Transcription Aid: A Randomized Comparison With Standard Transcription

Research Paper: Speech Recognition as a Transcription Aid: A Randomized Comparison With Standard Transcription

OBJECTIVE Speech recognition promises to reduce information entry costs for clinical information systems. It is most likely to be accepted across an organization if physicians can dictate without concerning themselves with real-time recognition and editing; assistants can then edit and process the computer-generated document. Our objective was to evaluate the use of speech-recognition technolog...

Continuous Speech Recognition from a Phonetic Transcription

A long-standing and widely accepted linguistic theory of speech recognition holds that natural spoken messages are understood on the basis of an intermediate representation of the acoustic signal in terms of a small number of phonetic symbols. The traditional linguistic theory is very attractive for several reasons. First, it provides a natural way to partition the process of communication by s...

Automatic speech recognition performance on a voicemail transcription task

In this paper, we report on the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems on voicemail transcription. Voicemail is spontaneous telephone speech recorded over a variety of channels; consequently, it is representative of many challenging problems in speech recognition. In the course of working on this task, several algorithms were developed that focus on different components of an...

Speech recognition performance on a new voicemail transcription task

In this paper we describe a new testbed for developing speech recognition algorithms a VoiceMail transcription task, analogous to other tasks such as the Switchboard, CallHome, and the Hub 4 tasks, which are currently used by speech recognition researchers. We describe the collection and use of a new VoiceMail database (that is available to the research community through the LDC), and also desc...
