Abstract
Systems and methods to provide a set of dictionaries and highlighting lists for speech recognition and highlighting, where the speech recognition focuses only on a limited scope of vocabulary as present in a document. The systems and methods allow a rapid and accurate matching of the utterance with the available text, and appropriately indicate the location in the text or signal any errors made during reading. Described herein is a system and method to create speech recognition systems focused on reading a fixed text and providing feedback on what they read to improve literacy, aid those with disabilities, and to make the reading experience more efficient and fun.
Claims15
The method of enhancing speech recognition and visual interactions;
- said method comprising:
- using an electronic reader having a display of textual information corresponding to a document and the capacity to interact with a dictionary relating to said document in accordance with a user's utterances;
- delivering aural utterances to said device;
- and providing a visual indicator to said display corresponding to said delivered utterances to facilitate the user's understanding of said textual information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor on an electronic device in a distributed speech recognition system comprising an electronic device having an embedded speech recognizer and a network device having a remote speech recognizer remote from said electronic device, perform a method comprising:
- using an electronic reader having a display of textual information corresponding to a document and the capacity to interact with a dictionary relating to said document in accordance with a user's utterances;
- delivering aural utterances to said device;
- and
- providing a visual indicator to said display corresponding to said delivered utterances to facilitate the user's understanding of said textual information.
An electronic device for use in a speech recognition system comprising an electronic device, having:
- at least one storage device configured to store information associated with aural utterances;
- a speech organizer configured to recognize inputted aural utterances to produce a local speech recognition result;
- at least one processor programmed to utilize said aural utterances received by the electronic device;
- and
- a visual display having a visual indicator corresponding to said delivered utterances.
