Live closed-captions for deaf and hard of hearing audiences are currently produced by stenographers, or by voice writers using speech recognition. Both techniques can produce captions with errors. We are currently developing a correction module that allows a user to intercept the real-time caption stream and correct it before it is broadcast. We report results of preliminary experiments on correction rate and actual user performance using a prototype correction module connected to the output of a speech recognition captioning system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
