- What it is
- Four studies on whether people can hear the errors in recognized speech when the text is read back aloud. An in-lab study and three online studies vary the pauses, the speech rate and repetition.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed conference paper, read from the publisher's abstract page. It studies audio review of text, not visual proofreading, and the participants were students or crowd workers.
Facts taken from this source
- The ability to identify speech recognition errors by ear degrades at higher speech rates, and the study tested 300 words per minute.
“the ability to identify errors degrades with higher speech rates (300 WPM)” (Abstract)
- In an in-lab study, participants missed identifying over 50 percent of speech recognition errors when listening to audio output of the recognized text.
“participants missed identifying over 50% of speech recognition errors when listening to audio output of the recognized text” (Abstract)
- In online studies, adding a pause between words improved how well people identified speech recognition errors by ear, compared with no pause.
“adding a pause between words improves error identification compared to no pause” (Abstract)
