Abstract

This paper explains how automatic speech recognition can assist communication and learning through the cost-effective production of text synchronised with speech and describes achievements and planned developments of the Liberated Learning Consortium to: support preferred learning and teaching styles and assist those who, for cognitive, physical or sensory reasons, find notetaking difficult; assist learners to manage and search online digital multimedia resources; provide automatic captioning of speech for deaf learners, or for any learner when speech is not available or suitable; assist blind, visually impaired or dyslexic people to read and search material more readily by augmenting synthetic speech with natural recorded real speech; assist reflection by speakers to improve their communication skills.
