Spelling as a Complementary Strategy for Speech Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare a variety of strategies for incorporating spelling to create more robust voice-only speech interfaces. These strategies use different combinations of speaking the word, spelling the word, and spelling the word using a phonetic alphabet. For correcting a single recognition error, spelling the word or speaking and spelling the word reduced error rates substantially. Phonetic-spelling was very accurate with error rates on a 5K task approaching zero. Most importantly, multiple input strategies can be used simultaneously with only a modest degradation in performance compared to allowing only a single input strategy. Thus our work shows that spelling-based input strategies offer the potential of a simple, natural and effective way for users to both avoid and correct recognition errors.

متن کاملSpeaking to Read: The Effects of Speech Recognition Technology on the Reading and Spelling Performance of Children with Learning Disabilities
In recent literature on persons with learning disabilities (LD), speech recognition has been discussed primarily as an assistive technology to help compensate for writing difficulties. However, prior research by the authors has suggested that in addition to helping persons to compensate for poor writing skills, speech recognition also may enhance reading and spelling; that is, what was designed...
