Abstract
A transcription system (5) comprises a transcription device (9) for the automatic transcription of dictated material and additionally employs transcribers (6) who manually transcribe some of the dictated material. The transcription device (9) contains abortion means (12, 13, 14) for aborting processing of certain dictated material by the transcription device (9) and retransmitting this dictated material to one of the transcribers (6) for manual transcription if the quality of the dictated audio data (AI) or the quality of the automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) is so poor that the correction of recognition errors in the automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) requires more effort than if said dictated material is transcribed manually from the outset.
Claims14
A transcription device (5) for the automatic transcription of dictated material, having
- receiving means (8) for receiving dictated audio data (AI) and having
- speech recognition means (10, 11, 12) for converting the received audio data (AT) into automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) and having
- output means (13) for outputting the automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) and having
- abortion means (13, 14, 16) for aborting processing of the dictated material by the transcription device (5) if automatic transcription by the speech recognition means (10, 11, 12) would produce or has already produced poor quality automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) with a relatively large number of recognition errors.
A transcription method for the automatic transcription of dictated material, in which the following steps are executed:
- reception of dictated audio data (AI);
- conversion of the received audio data (AI) into automatically transcribed text data (ATTI);
- output of the automatically transcribed text data (ATTI);
- abortion of processing of the dictated material if the automatically transcribed text data (ATTI) produced during automatic transcription would be or already is of poor quality with a relatively large number of recognition errors.
