Advanced Image Exploitation Aids.

This report describes the configuration and testing of a large vocabulary voice recognition system which could be used for image interpretation and intelligence report generation involving the creation of descriptive statements with unpredictable content and variable format. Recently, Threshold Technology developed an innovation in voice input technology which combines keyboard input with automatic voice recognition to provide accurate and rapid entry of a large vocabulary of words with no requirements for structuring the data entry process. This innovation, referred to as TALK & TYPE, is a system in which the user types the first letter of each word to be entered while he speaks the word into a word recognition device. The typed letter then activates only those vocabulary words which start with that letter, thereby greatly reducing the size of the working vocabulary and greatly increasing recognition accuracy and speed.
