Abstract(in English) In this report, we propose a multimodal interface for organization name input based on combinational usage of isolated word recognition for high frequency names and base-word recognition for low frequency names. Using this interface, the user first utters a organization name and then the system displays multiple word hypotheses and base-word lattice. Then the user selects a word or base-words to construct the name he/she intends to input. There are a huge number of organization names and new names are continuously generated, so the system cannot prepare all the names a priori. We addressed this problem to obtain both high coverage and high recognition performance by combining isolated word recognition and continuous base-word recognition. We proposed a multimodal interface to select a whole word or base-words to construct the word the user wanted to input by touch pen. We evaluated this combinational recognition method by off-line experiment and obtained the result better than both isolated word recognition only and continuous base-word recognition only. The simulation result of the system was about 92%. We also evaluated the performance of on-line system and revealed that the user can input a word by 93.3% by at most two trials of the utterances despite the recognition performance degradation.
