Title:
Error Correction Techniques for Handwriting, Speech, and Other Ambiguous
or Error Prone Systems

Abstract:
Interfaces which support natural inputs such as handwriting and speech
are becoming more prevalent. However, these
recognition-based interface techniques are error prone. Despite
research efforts to improve recognition rates, a certain amount of
error will never be removed. Suitable research efforts should attend
to the problem of correction techniques for these error prone
techniques. Humans have developed countless ways to correct errors in
understanding or clarify ambiguous statements. It is time for
interface designers to focus on ways for computers to do the same. We
present a survey of the design, implementation, and study of
interfaces for correcting error prone input technologies. Previous
work by others and our own research into flexible pen-based
note-taking environments grounds our research into interface
techniques for handling errors in recognition systems.
