Abstract:
A correction device (3, 4) for correcting a text (ET) recognized by a speech recognition device (2) from a spoken text (GT), wherein an item of link information (LI) for each part of the spoken text (GT) flags the associated recognized text (ET), having memory means (8) for storing at least the spoken text (GT) and the recognized text (ET), and having reproduction means (13) for acoustically reproducing the spoken text (GT) and synchronously visually marking the associated recognized text (ET) flagged by the item of link information (LI) when a synchronous reproduction mode is activated in the correction device (3, 4), and having marking means (12, 15, 17) for storing marking information (WMI) in the memory means (8), which marking information (WMI) flags those parts of the recognized text (ET) and/or the spoken text (GI) that were reproduced at least once by the reproduction means (13) when the synchronous reproduction mode was activated, the reproduction means (13) being arranged to suppress the acoustic reproduction of unwanted parts of the spoken text (GT) when the synchronous reproduction mode is activated, which unwanted parts are flagged by suppression information (PMI, HMI, GMI, DMI, RMI) stored in the memory means (8).
