Speech recognition has proved to be a natural interaction modality and an eeective technology for medical reporting, in particular in the speciality of radiology. High-volume text creation requirement and the complex structure of these texts make voice technologies useful. By employing speech, professionals in the eld can generate reports and do so at a speed that approaches traditional dictati...

This study examined the role of external information in monitoring language production. In a typing-to-dictation task, participants were deprived all or part visual feedback. Data analyzed using signal detection theory (SDT) applied to multi-component framework. Results showed that removing affected correction typing errors more than their conscious (Exps 1, 2). Reinstating partial (positional ...

Automatic processing of medical dictations poses a significant challenge. We approach the problem by introducing a statistical framework capable of identifying types and boundaries of sections, lists and other structures occurring in a dictation, thereby gaining explicit knowledge about the function of such elements. Training data is created semiautomatically by aligning a parallel corpus of co...

Dictation can be considered as a transcription exercise of an utterance. The main difficulty for the elaboration of a dictation system consists in modeling the errors and the associated explanations provided to the learner. On these bases, an experimental DICTOR system is being developed as an assistant tool to learn the French language spelling. DICTOR includes an automatic checking tool based...

In Experiment 1, 62 10-year-old children studied printed pseudowords with semantic information. The items were later represented in a different format for reading, with half of the items spelled in the same way as before and half displayed in a new phonologically equivalent spelling. In a dictation test, the exposure to an alternative spelling substantially increased the number of errors that m...

Speech interfaces to question-answering systems offer significant potential for finding information with phones and mobile networked devices. We describe a demonstration of spoken question answering using a commercial dictation engine whose language models we have customized to questions, a Web-based textprediction interface allowing quick correction of errors, and an open-domain question-answe...

Automatic dictation systems (ADS) are nowadays powerful and reliable. However, some Inadequacies of the underlying models still cause errors. In this paper, we are essential ly interested in the language model implemented In the linguistic component, and we leave aside the acoustic module. More precisely, we aim at Improving this linguistic model by coupling the ADS with a syntactic parser, abl...

We will demonstrate a novel graphical interface for correcting search errors in the output of a speech recognizer. This interface allows the user to visualize the word lattice by “pulling apart” regions of the hypothesis to reveal a cloud of words simlar to the “tag clouds” popular in many Web applications. This interface is potentially useful for dictation on portable touchscreen devices such ...
