Abstract:

This report describes the development, operation and performance characteristics of an Advanced Development Model of a Voice Input Code Identifier VICI. The VICI is an isolated word recognition system capable of recognizing the English digits and four control words, CANCEL, ERASE, VERIFY and TERMINATE. The system will accept these words independent of speaker for a large population of General American males. No training of the system by a speaker is necessary. By the use of an alphanumeric output display, a speaker using the system can verify that each digit spoken into the system was correctly recognized. Errors can be corrected through the use of the control words. To confirm system performance several final tests were held, two of which included live inputs rather than tape recordings. The VICI system is based upon the VIP- 100 isolated word recognition system which normally requires the input of training data by each talker who uses the system.
