Abstract: A speech recognition device (1) processes speech data (SD) of a dictation and thus establishes recognized text information (ETI) and link information (LI) of the dictation. In a synchronous playback mode of the speech recognition device (1), during the acoustic playback of the dictation a correction device (10) synchronously marks the word of the recognized text information (ETI) which word relates to the speech data (SD) just played back marked by the link information (LI) is marked synchronously. The correction device (10) now allows, when the synchronous playback mode is active, correction of an incorrect word of the recognized text information (ETI), so that time saving correction of incorrect words is possible.
