Method of supporting the proof-reading of speech-recognized text with a replay speed adapted to the recognition reliability

A method of supporting the proof-reading of a text obtained by speech recognition of a speech signal, of which at least one text component has a reliability level for the correctness of its speech recognition, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• control of the progression of the replay speed of the part of the speech signal belonging to the text component as a function of the reliability level of the text component, wherein the progressions of the replay speeds of temporally adjacent parts of the speech signal are adjusted to each other to allow a smooth transition from one component replay speed to another component replay speed.

A device for supporting the proof-reading of a text obtained by speech recognition of a speech signal, of which at least one text component has a reliability level for the correctness of its speech recognition, wherein the device is designed to control the progression of the replay speed of the part of the speech signal (1) belonging to the text component as a function of the reliability level of the text component, wherein the progressions of the replay speeds of temporally adjacent parts of the speech signal are adjusted to each other to allow a smooth transition from one component replay speed to another component replay speed.

A speech recognition system with a device for supporting proof-reading that is continuous throughout a text obtained by speech recognition of a speech signal, said text being divided into text components having respective reliability levels for the correctness of their speech recognition, wherein the device is designed to control, during the continuous proof-reading, progression of replay speed of the speech signal as a function of the reliability level of the text component adjusted to allow a smooth transition from one component replay speed to another component replay speed.

A computer-implemented method of supporting proof-reading that is continuous throughout a text obtained by transcription into written form of a speech signal and divided into respective text components having respective reliability levels for their correctness, respective parts of the speech signal belonging to the text components being known, wherein said method includes:

• deriving the reliability levels;
• and
• controlling, during the continuous proof-reading, progression of replay speed of the speech signal as a function of the reliability levels of the respective text components to allow a smooth transition from one component replay speed to another component replay speed.
