Filed:
Nov 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/264984
Inventors:
William A. Dittrich - Vancouver WA, US
Assignee:

International Classification:
G09B 7/00
US Classification:
434353, 434322, 434350, 434354
Abstract:
The invented apparatus, system and method for examining a student's oral answer capability includes a presentation mechanism for presenting a program test including one or more questions and soliciting one or more answers as oral inputs; a voice recognition mechanism for receiving a voice stream from a student oral recitation and for converting the voice stream to text-based essay form and for recording the same as a first given answer; answer key data stored in memory, the answer key data representing an ideal answer; a correlation mechanism coupled with the first given answer and with the stored answer key data for comparing the given answer to the stored answer key; and a grading mechanism coupled with the correlation mechanism for assigning a point score representing the merit of the given answer relative to the stored answer key data, wherein the point score represents the level of correlation therebetween.
Instant Note Capture/Presentation Apparatus, System And Method
US Patent:
7296218, Nov 13, 2007
Filed:
Feb 8, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/350682
Inventors:
William A. Dittrich - Vancouver WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
7155001, 704246
Abstract:
A live-presentation utterance-capture system includes a microphone accessible to a speaker at a live presentation; a voice-recognition mechanism configured linguistically to interpret a vocal utterance received at the microphone from the speaker; a database mechanism configured to store the linguistic interpretation of the vocal utterance in a visual form; and, optionally, a presentation mechanism configured to present to an audience at the live presentation a visual representation of the vocal utterance in the visual form. The live lecture notes capture and presentation method includes storing a visual presentation in a memory; converting the visual presentation to a slide show; presenting the slide show to a live audience; vocally augmenting the slide show using a microphone and voice recognition mechanism and storing a representation of the vocal augmentation in a memory; converting the stored augmentation to slide-show-compatible visual presentation that annotates the slide show; and storing the annotated slide show including the representation of the vocal augmentation in a memory. Live audiovisual presentation point capture/display apparatus includes a computer equipped with a microphone; a memory associated with the computer; software instructions residing in the memory and executing in the computer, the software instructions configured to recognize and store in text form an utterance received from a live speaker a the microphone; and a display mechanism configured to display to a live audience the stored text representing the utterance.
