Abstract

Haptic voice recognition (HVR) is a multi-modal text entry method for smart mobile devices. It employs haptic events generated by speakers during speaking to achieve better efficiency and robustness for automatic speech recognition. This paper describes the detailed design of the 2012 SJTU submission for the HVR Grand Challenge. During the design, a new perplexity metric using conditional entropy is proposed to evaluate the potential search space reduction of a haptic event without speech input. A number of new haptic events are evaluated both theoretically and experimentally in detail. The final submission system uses the haptic event of initial letter plus final letter and reduces word error rate by 76% compared to the baseline initial letter event.
