Speech Recognition for people with difficult to understand speech Supplemental Speech Recognition (SSR) integrates speech recognition and word prediction into a single software program so that you don't have to type so many letters when writing. What makes SSR unique is that it works with difficult to understand speech (often called "dysarthric" speech). Dysarthric speech is usually not consistent enough, nor does it have enough differentiation among spoken words to perform speech recognition on large vocabularies without help. The speech recognizer in SSR is specifically designed to work with this type of speech. We have spent several years developing SSR and received research funding from the National Institutes of Health to make this technology "real". If your speech is hard to understand but it would be helpful to use it for writing, SSR is for you!
