The model uses a continuous speech understanding engine to provide access to a virtual keyboard and mouse through speech input. This research has been targeted towards users with permanent motor disabilities. However, these results also apply to able-bodied users with temporary, taskinduced motor disabilities, such as users performing alphanumeric data entry through a cellular phone keypad. The proposed solution might complement (or even replace) miniaturized keyboards and other physical keyboard alternatives, such as stylus-type "soft" keyboards. Since it only requires a microphone (and perhaps a speaker for feedback) which are already included in many mobile devices, it may allow such devices to shrink considerably in size, as alphanumeric input is no longer bound to a physical area. The paper describes the underlying architecture employed by the system. It presents empirical results addressing the effectiveness of this interface over alternative input methods for alphanumeric data entry. Finally, it discusses implications and future directionshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/286–29212th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research SymposiumProceedings of the 12th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Symposium (FLAIRS), Orlando, FL, USA, May 1999isl1447498079135.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2015-11-14application/pdf97.0 kBfree Manaris, Bill Lagoudakis Michael Λαγουδακης Μιχαηλ MacGyvers Valanne Intelligence, Computational computational intelligence intelligence computational
