Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an information input method and device, and a computing apparatus. The information input method comprises receiving a voice input of a user, acquiring a recognition result on the received voice input, and enabling editing of the acquired recognition result in a text format. With the information input mechanism, according to the present invention, a user is able to choose to revise an automatic speech recognition result in a text editing format, particularly in the case where a small amount of errors occurs to the contents of speech recognition. As a result, the trouble that all contents of a voice input need to be input again is avoided, the speech recognition efficiency is increased, and the user experience is improved.

Claims

2. The information input method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring a recognition result on the received voice input comprises:

sending the received voice input to a server; and

receiving a recognition result on the voice input according to a speech recognition model and returned by the server.

3. The information input method according to claim 2, further comprising:

feeding the recognition result edited in the text format back to the server for training the speech recognition model.

4. The information input method according to claim 1, wherein the enabling editing of the acquired recognition result in a text format comprises:

entering, in response to an operation by the user on the acquired recognition result, a text editing mode to revise the recognition result.

5. The information input method according to claim 4, wherein the enabling editing of the acquired recognition result in a text format comprises:

presenting, in an associated manner, an editing mode logo for the recognition result; and

entering, in response to a trigger of the editing mode logo by the user, a text editing mode to revise the recognition result.

6. The information input method according to claim 5, wherein the trigger comprises a combination of at least one of the following:

a single click, a double click and a hovering on the editing mode logo.

7. The information input method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring a recognition result on the received voice input comprises:

acquiring a list of recognition results on the voice input, the list of recognition results comprising a plurality of recognition results; and

determining a recognition result selected by the user from the list of recognition results as the acquired recognition result,

wherein the enabling editing of the acquired recognition result in a text format comprises;

enabling the user to edit any recognition result in the list of recognition results in a text format when the user does not select any recognition result in the list of recognition results.

8. An information input device, comprising:
