Talking to InterFIS: Adding Speech Input to a Natural Language Interface

Abstract

This report discusses the addition of speech recognition capabilities to InterFIS, the natural language interface to the Fault Isolation Shell (FIS), an expert system for trouble-shooting electronics equipment. Because of the limitations of today's speech recognition technology, the addition of this capability affects the structure and flexibility of the interface; the consequences and implications of this are discussed in detail in this report. The speech recognition module is described, and a brief evaluation of system performance is presented.
