Abstract

This chapter described the common basics on which are grounded the computer assisted transcription approaches described in the three subsequent chapters: Chaps. 3, 4 and 5. Besides, a general overview is provided of the common features characterizing the up-to-date systems we have employed for handwritten text and speech recognition.

Specific mathematical formulation and modeling adequate for interactive transcription of handwritten text images and speech signals are derived from a particular instantiation of the interactive–predictive general framework already introduced in Sect. 1.3.3. Moreover, on this ground and by adopting the passive left-to-right interaction protocol described in Sect. 1.4.2, the two basic computer assisted handwriting and speech transcription approaches were developed (detailed in Chaps. 3 and 4, respectively), along with the evaluation measures used to assess their performance.

With Contribution Of: Verónica Romero and Luis Rodriguez.
