Abstract
A method and system for editing words that have been misrecognized. The system allows a speaker to specify a number of alternative words to be displayed in a correction window by resizing the correction window. The system also displays the words in the correction window in alphabetical order. A preferred system eliminates the possibility, when a misrecognized word is respoken, that the respoken utterance will be again recognized as the same misrecognized word. This elimination occurs based on the probabilities of alternative words associated with both the misrecognized utterance and the respoken utterance. The system, when operating with a word processor, allows the speaker to specify the amount of speech that is buffered before transferring to the word processor. The system also uses a word correction metaphor or a phrase correction metaphor.
