It is also known as Speech-To-Text (STT) or Automatic-Speech-Recognition(ASR), or just Word-Recognition(WR). The HiddenMarkov-Model (HMM) is a type of Markov model, which means that the future state of the model depends on the current state, not on the entire history of the system and the goal of HMM is to learn a sequence of hidden states from a set of known states.

English language teaching often makes use of visual images to either decorate the text and stimulate interest, explain or clarify the written or spoken words and aid comprehension, or as prompts to elicit language use. In all of these uses, visual images have a subservient role to words and are positioned in a straightforward, unproblematic relationship with words.

The educational establishment was built and structured on a communication pattern at the core of the Gutenberg Galaxy that combines the spoken word with printed and handwritten resources. The current digitization of text is a pacesetter for retooling the workplace in the "industries of signs", for replacing skills on a broad scale and for developing new formal and informal social relationships. In addition to technological developments, a strong driver of this process is the cost of the mainly manual modes of academic operation.

Learning how to write a coherent, effective text is a difficult and protracted achievement of cognitive development that contrasts sharply with the acquisition of speech. By the age of 5, spoken language is normally highly developed with a working vocabulary of several thousand words and an ability to comprehend and produce grammatical sentences. Although the specific contribution of a genetic predisposition for language learning is unsettled, it is apparent that speech acquisition is a natural part of early human development.

At our institute a speech understanding and dialog system is developed. As an example we model an information system for timetables and other information about intercity trains. In understanding spoken utterances, additional problems arise due to pronunciation variabilities and vagueness of the word recognition process. Experiments so far have also shown that the syntactical analysis produces a lot more hypotheses instead of reducing the number of word hypotheses.

We present a model of semantic processing of spoken language that (a) is robust against ill-formed input, such as can be expected from automatic speech recognisers, (b) respects both syntactic and pragmatic constraints in the computation of most likely interpretations, (c) uses a principled, expressive semantic representation formalism (RMRS) with a well-defined model theory, and (d) works continuously (producing meaning representations on a wordby-word basis, rather than only for full utterances) and incrementally (computing only the additional contribution by the new word, rather than re...

This paper describes a study in which a corpus of spoken Danish annotated with focus and topic tags was used to investigate the relation between information structure and pauses. The results show that intra-clausal pauses in the focus domain, tend to precede those words that express the property or semantic type whereby the object in focus is distinguished from other ones in the domain.

Disfluent speech adds to the difficulty of processing spoken language utterances. In this paper we concentrate on identifying one disfluency phenomenon: fragmented words. Our data, from the Spoken Dutch Corpus, samples nearly 45,000 sentences of human discourse, ranging from spontaneous chat to media broadcasts. We classify each lexical item in a sentence either as a completely or an incompletely uttered, i.e. fragmented, word.

Spoken dialogue systems would be more acceptable if they were able to produce backchannel continuers such as mm-hmm in naturalistic locations during the user's utterances. Using the HCRC Map Task Corpus as our data source, we describe models for predicting these locations using only limited processing and features of the user's speech that are commonly available, and which therefore could be used as a lowcost improvement for current systems. The baseline model inserts continuers after a predetermined number of words. ...
