Training Implications of Airborne Applications of Automated Speech Recognition Technology.
Abstract
Developments in automated voice recognition and synthesis have made feasible the implementation of automated speech recognition (ASR) technology in airborne systems. Research systems using voice technology at the Naval Training Equipment Center and at the Naval Air Development Center wre analyzed to determine the human factors of using automated speech recognition for communication with machines. The human factors identified present some unique training implications. The following specific recommendations were made with respect to Instructional Systems Development and particularly to the development of training media. Instructional systems using ASR should: (1) Be developed by instructional designers who have had hands-on experience with ASR technology; (2) Provide ASR speech behavior models, especially correct ones, for trainees to emulate, with the models chosen to illustrate specific factors in achieving successful recognition; (3) Provide convenient and effective means by which trainees can evaluate their own speech behavior; and (4) Provide convenient voice recognition test and voice reference pattern update capabilities under trainee control. Recommendations are also provided for training for the use of airborne ASR systems.
