Computer- and Human-Directed Speech Before and After Correction

چکیده
Speech register research shows that humans are adept at finetuning components of their speech to accommodate the needs audience of the audience, suggesting that they have a model of human communication needs. However, when that audience is a computer rather than another human, such a model may be invalid. Here we examine humans’ speech to other humans or an auditory-visual avatar before and after the computer or the human listener makes a listening “error”. Speech is found to be hyperarticulated in Computercompared with HumanDirected speech, and also in speech after correction. Results are discussed in terms of human-computer interaction and ASR systems.
