Publication number: 20180232695Abstract: A computer system automatically monitors and logs edits made to a digital document. The system calculates statistics from the log to produce an assessment of the editor's productivity. The system uses this assessment, in combination with assessments of other editors, to generate behavioral metrics which indicate correlations between editing behaviors and productivity. The behavioral metrics are used to identify the relative contribution to efficient editing of different editing behaviors. Such information about individual editing behaviors is used to evaluate the productivity of individual editors based on their editing behaviors, to identify behaviors which individual editors could adopt to improve their productivities, and to identify changes to the editing system itself for improving editor productivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Juergen Fritsch, Detlef Koll, Kjell Schubert, Christopher Michael Currivan

Patent number: 9454965Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for facilitating the process of proofreading draft transcripts of spoken audio streams. In general, proofreading of a draft transcript is facilitated by playing back the corresponding spoken audio stream with an emphasis on those regions in the audio stream that are highly relevant or likely to have been transcribed incorrectly. Regions may be emphasized by, for example, playing them back more slowly than regions that are of low relevance and likely to have been transcribed correctly. Emphasizing those regions of the audio stream that are most important to transcribe correctly and those regions that are most likely to have been transcribed incorrectly increases the likelihood that the proofreader will accurately correct any errors in those regions, thereby improving the overall accuracy of the transcript.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: MModal IP LLCInventors: Kjell Schubert, Juergen Fritsch, Michael Finke, Detlef Koll

Publication number: 20150112677Abstract: A user edits text in a draft document by providing input including left and right “anchor” text and replacement text. In response, a document editing system identifies an instance of the left anchor text followed by the right anchor text in the draft document, and replaces text between these instances with the replacement text specified by the user. For example, the user may type a string containing the left anchor text followed by the replacement text followed by the right anchor text, in response to which the system may perform the replacement just described. As a result, the user may specify both the location of, and a correction for, text in the draft document without using cursor keys or other navigation commands to navigate to the location of the text to be corrected, thereby increasing correction efficiency by avoiding the delay associated with such manual navigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: MULTIMODAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Kjell Schubert

Patent number: 8515755Abstract: A system enables a transcriptionist to replace a first written form (such as an abbreviation) of a concept with a second written form (such as an expanded form) of the same concept. For example, the system may display to the transcriptionist a draft document produced from speech by an automatic speech recognizer. If the transcriptionist recognizes a first written form of a concept that should be replaced with a second written form of the same concept, the transcriptionist may provide the system with a replacement command. In response, the system may identify the second written form of the concept and replace the first written form with the second written form in the draft document.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: MModal IP LLCInventor: Kjell Schubert
