Abstract: A speech recognition device (1) processes speech data (SD) of a dictation and establishes recognized text information (ETI) and link information (LI) of the dictation. In a synchronous playback mode of the speech recognition device (1), during acoustic playback of the dictation a correction device (10) synchronously marks the word of the recognized text information (ETI) which word relates to speech data (SD) just played back marked by link information (LI) is marked synchronously, the just marked word featuring the position of an audio cursor (AC). When a user of the speech recognition device (1) recognizes an incorrect word, he positions a text cursor (TC) at the incorrect word and corrects it. Cursor synchronization means (15) makes it possible to synchronize text cursor (TC) with audio cursor (AC) or audio cursor (AC) with text cursor (TC) so the positioning of the respective cursor (AC, TC) is simplified considerably.

Abstract: Periodically retransmitting of multiply lost TCP/IP packets until either an ACK is received or the timeout finally occurs. By retransmitting the packet more than the once as done with prior art SACK approaches, there is a possibility of not having to wait until the timeout period elapses if one of the other retransmissions successfully transits the network. If the packet is successfully received and acknowledged before the timeout period ends, then the more extensive timeout procedures need not be invoked and traffic is much less affected.
