A Computer Assisted Speech Transcription System

Current automatic speech transcription systems can achieve a high accuracy although they still make mistakes. In some scenarios, high quality transcriptions are needed and, therefore, fully automatic systems are not suitable for them. These high accuracy tasks require a human transcriber. However, we consider that automatic techniques could improve the transcriber's efficiency. With this idea we present an interactive speech recognition system integrated with a word processor in order to assists users when transcribing speech. This system automatically recognizes speech while allowing the user to interactively modify the transcription.
