Reporting in the new-tech era
1. Introduction to e-learning and ASR ;
2. Online European Master on AudioVisual Translation ;
3. Module on respeaking ;
4. Considerations and conclusions.
1. Introduction
• E-learning : (def. Britannica Encyclopedia)
electronically-supported learning and teaching ;
• ASR : Automatic Spech Recognition technology
converting spoken words into written text
• Respeaking: text production by means of ASR
for live subtitling/reporting/… purposes
• Our interest : teaching and learning (ASR-assisted)
reporting remotely

What respeaking is
How it is done around Europe
Use of ASR (profiling, dictation, shadowing, respeaking)
Theory > exercise (on-line, off-line, wiki, survey, quiz…)
4. Conclusions
• ASR e-learning for SDH purposes is a reality ;
• Let’s try and apply same system to reporting ;
• What about a common national or international
e-learning master/course/module on reporting ?
• Matters: voice reporting, stenotyping,
stenographing, typing…
• Methodology : with or without universities
• Problems : not as we know. What about you ?
