Abstract

Oral communication is transient, but many important decisions, social contracts and fact findings are first carried out in an oral setup, documented in written form and later retrieved. At Carnegie Mellon University's Interactive Systems Laboratories we have been experimenting with the documentation of meetings. The paper summarizes part of the progress that we have made in this test bed, specifically on the question of automatic transcription using large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, information access using non-keyword based methods, summarization and user interfaces. The system is capable of automatically constructing a searchable and browsable audio-visual database of meetings and provide access to these records.
