Abstract

The LIBERATED LEARNING PROJECT (LLP) is an applied research project studying two core questions:1) Can speech recognition (SR) technology successfully digitize lectures to display spoken words as text in university classrooms?2) Can speech recognition technology be used successfully as an alternative to traditional classroom notetaking for persons with disabilities?This paper addresses these intriguing questions and explores the underlying complex relationship between speech recognition technology, university educational environments, and disability issues.
