Speech-Based Text Editing for Parameter Replacement in Narratives
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient interface for textual editing through speech, particularly in environments where visual interaction is limited or impractical, such as during medical documentation.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilizes speech recognition to detect and process editing commands for textual messages, allowing users to edit parameters and values within narrative textual messages, such as medical records, by replacing initial values with edited ones, and facilitating visual presentation of the edited text on a client computing platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional text editing interfaces are used, then visual interaction is possible, but user interaction becomes cumbersome in environments where visual interaction is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical visual interaction system (mouse clicks, keyboard typing, screen viewing) with an acoustic interaction system (speech recognition and processing). Users speak natural language commands to edit text parameters, and the system processes these speech inputs to modify the narrative textual message, eliminating the need for complex visual manual editing operations.
2Productivity
If speech recognition is implemented for text editing, then input efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the speech processing task into distinct functional modules: speech input reception, speech-to-text conversion, keyword identification, parameter extraction, and text editing execution. This modular segmentation allows the system to handle complex speech-based editing operations through a series of simpler, more manageable processing stages, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high input efficiency.
3Loss of time
If manual text editing is used, then system simplicity is maintained, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the system pre-identify editable parameters and their current values in the narrative textual message before the user speaks the editing command. The system analyzes the message structure, extracts parameter information, and prepares the editing interface in advance, so that when the user speaks the command, the editing operation can be executed immediately without manual searching or navigation, significantly reducing time consumption while keeping operations simple.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods, and storage media for providing an interface for textual editing through speech are disclosed. One aspect of the disclosure may include storing a textual message and presenting the textual message via a client computing platform. Speech uttered by a user may be received. Speech recognition may be performed on the speech to determine words spoken by the user. The words determined from the speech may be analyzed to detect whether an editing command was spoken. The editing command may include a spoken parameter identifier and an edited value for a parameter. The editing command may be processed to insert the edited value for the parameter or replace an initial value to the parameter with the edited value. Information may be transmitted to the client computing platform that causes the textual message to be visually presented including edits based on the editing command.
