Newell, Allen, Arnott, J. L., Dye, R. and Cairns, A. Y. (1991): A Full-Speed Listening Typewriter Simulation. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 35 (2) pp. 119-131

For automatic speech recognition applications such as a listening typewriter, there is a pressing need for the evaluation of speech input to machine. Unfortunately current recognition technology is not adequate for such evaluation, and thus simulation must be used. Some simulations have been performed where the conversion from speech to orthography was performed by a typist, but these simulations were restricted by the speed at which the typist could input data. This paper describes a simulation based on a palantype shorthand machine and a commercially available transcription system. The use of a shorthand machine rather than a QWERTY keyboard means that the speech rates can be much greater and thus the simulation need not impose unrealistic speed limitations on the speaker.

Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience.

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996
