Abstract:     A system and method for automatically adjusting the rate at which recorded speech is played back as a typist manually transcribes the speech. The typing speed is measured and a speech playback rate determined based on the measured speed. The playback rate of the audio is then automatically increased or decreased as appropriate to match the typing speed.

    1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating efficient transcription of audible speech from an audio system, comprising:

measuring a typing speed;

generating a signal based on the typing speed;

using the signal to establish a rate at which the audible speech is played by the audio system; and

assigning each word in recognized speech with a respective expected typing duration by a predetermined user, for facilitating estimating the typing rate.
