Considenng the special charact~stic~ of Chinese language, syllables are chosen as the basic umts for dictation The machin.e is divided into two subsystems. The first is to recog~uze the syllables using speech signal processing t~chmques. Because .every syllable .can represent many different characters With completely different meaning the second subsystem then identifies the exact characters fro~ the sylla?les and cot;ects the erro~ in syllable recognition by first forrmng a.ll P?SSible words froin the syllables then finding out one combmanon of ~e :-vords which is grammatically valid in a s~nte~ce . .The preh.mmary test results indicate that such a dicta!IOn mac:hme IS not only practically attractive, but technically achievable.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/122","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/0122.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/122.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/bibtex/122","volume":{"slug":"1987","title":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1987","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/","year":1987,"location":"Milan, Italy","dates":"","editors":"John McDermott","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":122,"pages":{"first":619,"last":620},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
