1:
text = Welcome to the IBM continuous dictation enrolment
2:
text = Continuous speech is hard to understand
3:
text = but at last continuous dictation is possible
4:
text = The system works best when it has a good sample of your speech to guide its recognition
5:
text = Research has shown that the highest accuracy is gained
6:
text = when using speech samples that are similar to real dictation
7:
text = That is why you are reading sentences and not just lists of words
8:
text = The computer already has some idea of the way people speak
9:
text = and it can guess how you probably say each word in the vocabulary
10:
text = however doing this enrolment will make the system even more accurate
11:
text = The more the system knows about the way you speak the better it will do
12:
text = It is important for you to know how to speak to this computer
13:
text = Each word should be spoken clearly to get the best recognition accuracy
14:
text = You are not required to pause between words but pausing naturally between phrases is quite acceptable
15:
text = Try not to stutter or fluff words and be careful not to breathe too loudly into the microphone
16:
text = Avoid over stressing words or changing the pitch of your voice too much
17:
text = Try to speak consistently and naturally
18:
text = Imagine that you are talking to someone who does not understand the language very well
19:
text = Or that you are trying to project your voice to the back of the room
20:
text = Since the system requires that you dictate all punctuation symbols to be included in your text
21:
text = we have included a number of common symbols in many sentences for practice !EXCLAMATION-MARK
22:
text = You will have to say the words comma and full-stop when you need them .FULL-STOP
23:
text = You will typically use words like the and a quite often
24:
text = so these words occur in this training script with high frequency .FULL-STOP
25:
text = Please pronounce all punctuation in this script as it is written .FULL-STOP
26:
text = New users of speech recognition technology are often surprised
27:
text = by the fact that it is difficult for a computer to recognise speech
28:
text = After all ,COMMA six year old children recognise speech quite well !EXCLAMATION-MARK
29:
text = So why is it so hard for a computer to recognise speech in real life ?QUESTION-MARK
30:
text = Consider the difficulties you experience when you encounter someone with an unusual accent
31:
text = or if someone does not speak clearly or says a word which you don't know
32:
text = You can exploit your knowledge of English and the topic of the conversation to work out what was said
33:
text = but the point is that machines don't have all your knowledge
34:
text = therefore ,COMMA speech recognition relies on the sounds of the words
35:
text = however some words with the same pronunciation are spelt differently
36:
text = Here are some sentences to demonstrate this NEWPARAGRAPH
37:
text = NEWLINE The fare increase at the fayre was fair NEWPARAGRAPH
38:
text = Don't go too close to those two dogs NEWPARAGRAPH
39:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE The school principal outlined his principle "CLOSE-QUOTE
40:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE I rowed my boat and you rode your bicycle down the road "CLOSE-QUOTE
41:
text = So the system cannot determine what you said based on the acoustic analysis alone
42:
text = To aid recognition we've supplemented the acoustic analysis with a language model
43:
text = This is not based on rules ,COMMA like a grammar of English
44:
text = It is based on an analysis of many sentences of the type people are expected to dictate
45:
text = Based on this the system tries to predict the word it expects you to say next
46:
text = Without this it would be impossible to pick the correct spelling for words that sound the same
47:
text = Context also helps in distinguishing among sets of words that sound similar
48:
text = For example words like ;SEMI-COLON I buy my and why
49:
text = All the words in the large dictation vocabulary are included in this language model
50:
text = The dictation vocabulary contains about sixty thousand common words and names
51:
text = These words have been judged to give a good coverage of general English usage
52:
text = You will be able to dictate using these words straight away
53:
text = In addition you may have used the vocabulary expansion facility
54:
text = This takes existing documents of the type you plan to dictate
55:
text = analyses them and allows you to add any words with which it is unfamiliar
56:
text = These words will then be added to the vocabulary
57:
text = along with the context in which they were found
58:
text = even so it is likely that you may use a word that is not known to the system
59:
text = therefore it is necessary for you to add these extra words
60:
text = You should speak as if the computer knows every word you want to use
61:
text = Say all words including abbreviations and names ,COMMA without special consideration
62:
text = If you are unsure whether a word will be recognised just try it anyway
63:
text = If the word is already in the vocabulary the system will recognise it normally
64:
text = When you use words the system does not know other words will appear
65:
text = Personal names and technical terms may produce some amusing alternatives
66:
text = You must then change these to the correct words
67:
text = The next time you use these new words they should be recognised
68:
text = Soon most of the words you need will be included in your vocabulary
69:
text = You will come to rely on the ability of the computer to get it right
70:
text = When should you correct mistakes ?QUESTION-MARK
71:
text = You do not need to ensure that each word is correct as it appears
72:
text = You should dictate a paragraph or more and then review your text
73:
text = At this point you should correct any mistakes
74:
text = What is the best way to dictate a letter ?QUESTION-MARK
75:
text = Formal dictation to a secretary usually requires punctuation .FULL-STOP
76:
text = Sometimes ,COMMA this requires you to think ahead !EXCLAMATION-MARK
77:
text = Some words ,COMMA such as NEWLINE ,COMMA can be used to control layout .FULL-STOP
78:
text = NEWPARAGRAPH This is often important to get things right !EXCLAMATION-MARK
79:
text = So far you have learned a lot about using our dictation system
80:
text = Does it take long to learn to use the system effectively ?QUESTION-MARK
81:
text = If you are not used to verbal dictation you may have to practise .FULL-STOP
82:
text = You need to be confident about speaking in a clear manner .FULL-STOP
83:
text = Try not to confuse your computer too much !EXCLAMATION-MARK
84:
text = Talking too quickly makes it hard to keep up with the dictation
85:
text = and you tend to slur your words .FULL-STOP
86:
text = However ,COMMA you will soon become familiar with your new input device .FULL-STOP
87:
text = You will find it very productive if you are not used to a keyboard .FULL-STOP
88:
text = Also ,COMMA you won't need a spell checker -DASH
89:
text = the recogniser does it for you !EXCLAMATION-MARK
90:
text = Can IBM speech recognition products do anything else ?QUESTION-MARK
91:
text = As well as dictation most products allow desktop navigation by voice
92:
text = Our products can also recognise other languages as well as English
93:
text = It should come as no surprise that
94:
text = as each language has a different set of sounds and different words
95:
text = You need a different version of the product for each language
96:
text = IBM can advise you if you wish to purchase any of these
97:
text = They are available in a number of European and Asian languages
98:
text = You now know nearly everything you need to dictate documents
99:
text = You should have nearly completed the first part of this adaptation process
100:
text = After you have read one hundred sentences successfully
101:
text = you have the option to read further sentences or train the system
102:
text = If you want your voice model to improve further you can continue
103:
text = The more sentences you read ,COMMA the better the system will get to know your voice
104:
text = The following sentences are divided into several sections
105:
text = First there is the beginning of "OPEN-QUOTE Alice in Wonderland "CLOSE-QUOTE
106:
text = This is titled "OPEN-QUOTE Down the Rabbit Hole "CLOSE-QUOTE
107:
text = Then there is some information about the universe ,COMMA some facts about dinosaurs
108:
text = and some advice about writing letters
109:
text = Next there is a fun section where you can test your knowledge of quotations
110:
text = Lastly there are a few sentences containing unusual sounds
111:
text = We hope you will find this adaptation process interesting !EXCLAMATION-MARK
112:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE Down the Rabbit Hole "CLOSE-QUOTE
113:
text = Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank
114:
text = and of having nothing to do
115:
text = once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading
116:
text = but it had no pictures or conversations in it
117:
text = and what is the use of a book ,COMMA thought Alice
118:
text = without pictures or conversations ?QUESTION-MARK
119:
text = So she was considering in her own mind
120:
text = (OPEN-BRACKET as well as she could ,COMMA
121:
text = for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid )CLOSE-BRACKET
122:
text = whether the pleasure of making a daisy chain would be worth
123:
text = the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies
124:
text = when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her
125:
text = There was nothing so very remarkable in that
126:
text = nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way
127:
text = to hear the Rabbit say to itself
128:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE Oh dear Oh dear I shall be too late "CLOSE-QUOTE
129:
text = when she thought it over afterwards
130:
text = it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this
131:
text = but at the time it all seemed quite natural
132:
text = but when the Rabbit actually took a watch
133:
text = out of its waistcoat pocket and looked at it
134:
text = and then hurried on
135:
text = Alice started to her feet
136:
text = for it flashed across her mind that she had never before
137:
text = seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket
138:
text = or a watch to take out of it
139:
text = and burning with curiosity
140:
text = she ran across the field after it and was just in time
141:
text = to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the hedge
142:
text = In another moment down went Alice after it
143:
text = never once considering
144:
text = how in the world she was to get out again
145:
text = The rabbit hole went straight on
146:
text = like a tunnel for some way and then dipped suddenly down
147:
text = so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself
148:
text = before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well
149:
text = Either the well was very deep or she fell very slowly
150:
text = for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her
151:
text = and to wonder what was going to happen next
152:
text = First she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to
153:
text = but it was too dark to see anything
154:
text = then she looked at the sides of the well
155:
text = and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves
156:
text = here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs
157:
text = She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed
158:
text = it was labelled "OPEN-QUOTE orange marmalade "CLOSE-QUOTE
159:
text = but to her great disappointment it was empty
160:
text = she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody underneath
161:
text = so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it
162:
text = Well ,COMMA thought Alice to herself
163:
text = After such a fall as this I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs !EXCLAMATION-MARK
164:
text = How brave they'll all think me at home
165:
text = Why I wouldn't say anything about it even if I fell off the top of the house !EXCLAMATION-MARK
166:
text = (OPEN-BRACKET Which was very likely true .FULL-STOP )CLOSE-BRACKET
167:
text = Down down down
168:
text = Would the fall never come to an end ?QUESTION-MARK
169:
text = I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time she said aloud
170:
text = I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth
171:
text = Let me see that would be four thousand miles down I think
172:
text = for you see Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom
173:
text = and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge
174:
text = as there was no one to listen to her
175:
text = still it was good practice to say it over
176:
text = yes that's about the right distance
177:
text = but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to ?QUESTION-MARK
178:
text = Alice had not the slightest idea what Latitude was or Longitude either
179:
text = but she thought they were nice grand words to say
180:
text = Presently she began again
181:
text = I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth !EXCLAMATION-MARK
182:
text = How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downwards !EXCLAMATION-MARK
183:
text = The Antipathies I think
184:
text = she was rather glad there was no one listening this time
185:
text = as it didn't sound at all the right word
186:
text = but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is you know
187:
text = Please Ma'am is this New Zealand or Australia ?QUESTION-MARK
188:
text = and she tried to curtsey as she spoke
189:
text = fancy curtseying as you're falling through the air !EXCLAMATION-MARK
190:
text = Do you think she could manage it ?QUESTION-MARK
191:
text = And what an ignorant little girl she'll think me for asking
192:
text = No it'll never do to ask ,COMMA perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere
193:
text = Down down down
194:
text = There was nothing else to do so Alice soon began talking again
195:
text = Dinah will miss me very much tonight I should think
196:
text = (OPEN-BRACKET Dinah was the cat )CLOSE-BRACKET
197:
text = I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at teatime .FULL-STOP
198:
text = Dinah my dear I wish you were down here with me
199:
text = There are no mice in the air I'm afraid
200:
text = but you might catch a bat and that's very like a mouse you know
201:
text = But do cats eat bats I wonder and here Alice began to get rather sleepy
202:
text = and went on saying to herself in a dreamy sort of way
203:
text = Do cats eat bats Do cats eat bats and sometimes Do bats eat cats
204:
text = for you see as she couldn't answer either question
205:
text = it didn't much matter which way she put it
206:
text = She felt that she was dozing off
207:
text = and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah
208:
text = and was saying to her very earnestly
209:
text = Now Dinah tell me the truth did you ever eat a bat when suddenly
210:
text = thump thump
211:
text = down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves and the fall was over
212:
text = Alice was not a bit hurt and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment
213:
text = she looked up but it was all dark overhead
214:
text = before her was another long passage
215:
text = and the White Rabbit was still in sight hurrying down it
216:
text = There was not a moment to be lost :COLON
217:
text = away went Alice like the wind and was just in time to hear it say
218:
text = as it turned a corner
219:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE Oh my ears and whiskers how late it's getting "CLOSE-QUOTE
220:
text = She was close behind it when she turned the corner
221:
text = but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen
222:
text = she found herself in a long low hall
223:
text = which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof
224:
text = There were doors all round the hall but they were all locked
225:
text = and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other trying every door
226:
text = she walked sadly down the middle wondering how she was ever to get out again
227:
text = Suddenly she came upon a little three legged table all made of solid glass
228:
text = there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key
229:
text = and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall
230:
text = but alas either the locks were too large or the key was too small
231:
text = but at any rate it would not open any of them
232:
text = However on the second time round
233:
text = she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before
234:
text = and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high
235:
text = she tried the little golden key in the lock and to her great delight it fitted
236:
text = Alice opened the door
237:
text = and found that it led into a small passage not much larger than a rat hole
238:
text = she knelt down and looked along the passage
239:
text = into the loveliest garden you ever saw
240:
text = How she longed to get out of that dark hall
241:
text = and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains
242:
text = but she could not even get her head through the doorway
243:
text = and even if my head would go through ,COMMA thought poor Alice
244:
text = it would be of very little use without my shoulders
245:
text = Oh how I wish I could shut up like a telescope
246:
text = I think I could if I only knew how to begin
247:
text = For you see so many out of the way things had happened lately
248:
text = that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible
249:
text = There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door
250:
text = so she went back to the table half hoping she might find another key on it
251:
text = or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes
252:
text = this time she found a little bottle on it
253:
text = which certainly was not here before said Alice
254:
text = and tied around the neck of the bottle was a paper label with the words
255:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE drink me "CLOSE-QUOTE beautifully printed on it in large letters .FULL-STOP
256:
text = It was all very well to say drink me
257:
text = but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry .FULL-STOP
258:
text = No I'll look first she said and see whether it's marked "OPEN-QUOTE poison "CLOSE-QUOTE or not
259:
text = for she had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt
260:
text = and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things
261:
text = all because they would not remember
262:
text = the simple rules their friends had taught them
263:
text = such as that a red hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long
264:
text = and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife it usually bleeds
265:
text = and she had never forgotten that if you drink much from a bottle marked poison
266:
text = it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later
267:
text = However this bottle was not marked poison so Alice ventured to taste it
268:
text = and finding it very nice
269:
text = (OPEN-BRACKET it had in fact a sort of mixed flavour of cherry tart ,COMMA
270:
text = custard ,COMMA pineapple ,COMMA roast turkey ,COMMA
271:
text = toffee ,COMMA and hot buttered toast )CLOSE-BRACKET
272:
text = she very soon finished it off .FULL-STOP
273:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE What a curious feeling "CLOSE-QUOTE said Alice .FULL-STOP
274:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE I must be shutting up like a telescope "CLOSE-QUOTE
275:
text = And so it was indeed she was now only ten inches high
276:
text = and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size
277:
text = for going through the little door into that lovely garden
278:
text = First however she waited for a few minutes
279:
text = to see if she was going to shrink any further
280:
text = she felt a little nervous about this
281:
text = for it might end you know said Alice to herself
282:
text = in my going out altogether like a candle
283:
text = I wonder what I should be like then ?QUESTION-MARK
284:
text = And she tried to fancy
285:
text = what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out
286:
text = for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing
287:
text = After a while finding that nothing more happened
288:
text = she decided on going into the garden at once
289:
text = but ,COMMA alas for poor Alice !EXCLAMATION-MARK
290:
text = when she got to the door she found she had forgotten the little golden key
291:
text = and when she went back to the table for it
292:
text = she found she could not possibly reach it
293:
text = she could see it quite plainly through the glass
294:
text = and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table
295:
text = but it was too slippery
296:
text = and when she had tired herself out with trying
297:
text = the poor little thing sat down and cried
298:
text = Come ,COMMA there's no use in crying like that
299:
text = said Alice to herself rather sharply
300:
text = I advise you to leave off this minute
301:
text = She generally gave herself very good advice
302:
text = though she very seldom followed it
303:
text = and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes
304:
text = and once she remembered trying to box her own ears
305:
text = for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself
306:
text = for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people
307:
text = But it's no use now thought poor Alice to pretend to be two people
308:
text = Why there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person
309:
text = Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table
310:
text = she opened it and found in it a very small cake
311:
text = on which the words "OPEN-QUOTE eat me "CLOSE-QUOTE were beautifully marked in currants
312:
text = Well I'll eat it said Alice
313:
text = and if it makes me grow larger I can reach the key
314:
text = and if it makes me grow smaller I can creep under the door
315:
text = so either way I'll get into the garden
316:
text = and I don't care which happens
317:
text = She ate a little bit and said anxiously to herself
318:
text = "OPEN-QUOTE Which way ?QUESTION-MARK Which way ?QUESTION-MARK "CLOSE-QUOTE
319:
text = holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing
320:
text = and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size
321:
text = To be sure this is what generally happens when one eats cake
322:
text = but Alice had got so much into the way
323:
text = of expecting nothing but out of the way things to happen
324:
text = that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way
325:
text = So she set to work and very soon finished off the cake .FULL-STOP
326:
text = That brings us to the end of "OPEN-QUOTE Down the Rabbit Hole "CLOSE-QUOTE
327:
text = Our thanks go to Lewis Carroll for writing it
328:
text = I'm afraid we took some liberties with the punctuation !EXCLAMATION-MARK
329:
text = Now for the sections on space and dinosaurs :COLON
330:
text = The exploration of space has fascinated mankind for many years
331:
text = Our solar system is at least four thousand million years old
332:
text = At first ,COMMA men thought that the earth was flat
333:
text = And that the Sun and Moon revolved around the earth
334:
text = Now we know that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system
335:
text = It is a large star surrounded by nine planets
336:
text = These rotate around the Sun at different speeds
337:
text = The largest of these is Jupiter
338:
text = It contains twice as much mass as all the others combined
339:
text = Each of the planets has different characteristics
340:
text = It is thought that Mercury consists mostly of iron
341:
text = Saturn is the second largest ,COMMA and is surrounded by distinctive rings
342:
text = Venus is covered by a thick layer of clouds
343:
text = Whilst Mars is known for its deep red surface made of dust
344:
text = People always dreamed of being able to walk on the Moon
345:
text = America and Russia raced to be the first country to achieve this
346:
text = Since then we have studied other parts of the galaxy
347:
text = Technology is helping us to discover more distant places
348:
text = And we are learning more about space all the time
349:
text = Dinosaurs are a source of enormous fascination
350:
text = There were many different species of dinosaurs
351:
text = Some were very large ,COMMA slow and lived on a diet of plants
352:
text = Others were smaller and faster ,COMMA they hunted for meat to survive
353:
