چکیده

In a series of experiments isolated-word automated speech recognition (ASR) was compared with keyboard and mouse interfaces for three data entry tasks: textual phrase entry, selection from a list, and numerical data entry. To effect fair comparisons, the tasks were designed to minimize the transaction cycle for each input mode and data type, and the main comparisons used times from only correct data entries. With the hardware and software employed the results indicate that for inputting short phrases, ASR competes only if the typist's speed is below 45 words per minute. For selecting an item from a list, ASR offers an advantage only if the list length exceeds 15 items. For entering numerical data, ASR offers no advantage over keypad or mouse. An extrapolation to latency-free ASR suggests that even as hardware and software become faster, human factors will dominate and the results would shift only slightly in favor of ASR.

A Listening Keyboard for Users with Motor

Computer users with motor impairments find it difficult and, in many cases, impossible to access PC functionality through the physical keyboard-and-mouse interface. Studies show that even able-bodied users experience similar difficulties when interacting with mobile devices; this is due to the reduced size/usability of the input interfaces. Advances in speech recognition have made it possible t...

Visual Error Resolution Strategy for highly-structured text entry using Speech Recognition in FP6-ALLADIN project

Man-Machine Interaction using only speech input is not well received by users, even for high performance recognizers (WER of about 2%). In most free text dictation application, attaining users intention is more important than specific speech tools performance, and low transaction success rate results in user’s rejection to speech interfaces [6]. For highly-structured text entry, users will bett...
