Abstract

Conversation management is provided in a computer speech recognition system by generating a number of graphical and audio interfaces. The system allocates video and speech for different purposes to cue a user when to speak. The system also makes use of video and speech to cue a user regarding how to speak, thereby alleviating the vocabulary problems common to many speech recognition interfaces. These techniques permit a user to be informed when and how to speak during a fairly complex situation such as an interview.
