Theories about word production differ in whether they assume that lexical selection involves modality-specific representations or modality-neutral ones, called lemmas. The observation semantic errors aphasia may be restricted to either speaking writing has long been taken challenge lemma models (Hillis et al., Citation1999; Kemmerer, Citation2015, Citation2019). Whereas patients RGB, HW, and RR...

This paper describes recent progress and the author's perspectives of speech recognition technology. Applications of speech recognition technology can be classified into two main areas, dictation and human-computer dialogue systems. In the dictation domain, the automatic broadcast news transcription is now actively investigated, especially under the DARPA project. The broadcast news dictation t...

Research has shown that children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may present a series of academic difficulties, including spelling errors. Given that correct spelling is supported by the phonological component of working memory (PWM), the present study examined whether or not the spelling difficulties of children with ADHD are emphasized when children's PWM is overloaded. A...

This paper describes a practical dictation system that is able to compensate for the lack of a large text database and reports on the results of eld tests in which the system was used to make medical rehabilitation diagnosis reports in a hospital. Our dictation system uses two recognition engines: continuous speech recognition and isolated word (including connected words) recognition engines. W...

Number transcoding (e.g., writing 64 when hearing "sixty-four") is a basic numerical skill; rather faultlessly performed in adults, but difficult for children. In the present study, children speaking Dutch (an inversed number language) and French (a non-inversed number language) wrote Arabic digits to dictation. We also tested their IQ and their phonological, visuospatial, and executive working...

Mobile devices have become ubiquitous and reasonably powerful and well connected. However, their physical size limits possibilities of interaction, especially document creation. Dictation in mobile setting provides one solution, but limited processing power requires that the actual speech recognition is distributed to a server computer. We present MobiDic, a distributed mobile dictation applica...

As speech recognition systems are increasingly applied to real world problems, it is often desirable to use the same recognition engine for a variety of tasks of differing complexity. For example the recognizer in a dictation system may need to handle a highly constrained correction grammar, as well as a large vocabulary dictation trigram. This paper explores the relationship between the comple...
