an elastic audio slider for interactive speech skimming
Time-compressed audio replay is a very useful feature for skimming speech data. However, common user interfaces for this task usually lack the flexibility and interactivity known from interfaces for visual data browsing. In this paper, we introduce a new interface design which enhances and complements existing approaches for speech skimming. By combining time-compressed audio replay with the concept of elastic interfaces, we make speech skimming more similar to navigation in visual documents and thus, particular useful for highly interactive tasks such as review or search for information.
