In a system for converting speech into corresponding written words, the spoken word is converted directly into the written word by the use of an automatic speech recognition device or "translator" (30), which translates the spoken word into corresponding coded signals, and a word processing system including a dictation terminal (10). To compensate for the limited vocabulary and other shortcomings of the translator (30), special control means are provided for allowing the dictator to verbally spell out each word or expression which the translator is incapable of translating; alternatively such words may be entered from a keyboard. In this mode of operation, the system automatically assembles the letters together to form words, and assembles the words so formed with other words to form sentences. The spoken words and letters appear an the video display screen of the word processor dictation terminal (10). The dictator views the text, makes any necessary corrections, and either stores the text codes in an electrical storage device (32) for later transmission to a printer, or directly transmits the text codes to a printer (34, 36, 38) which prints the text as a relatively high speed. The spoken words may be recorded on magnetic tape which is then read at a speed suitable for the translator (30). <IMAGE> |
