It would be analogous to a typographical error. I might say “is an” and it prints out “isn’t.”
Rhythmdvl is an idiot for not understanding what the question is.
Rhythmdvl **isn’t **idiotic for thinking the OP was a reply to another thread.
Sorry, I should preface this with: What would this error be called?
Since typographical refers to machine-printed text, it would still be a typographical error.
Technically (in the SR field) it’s called a processing error or a parsing error.
I propose calling it a saywhatism.
The system is misinterpreting the input. It isn’t a typographical error at all because it’s printing exactly what it thinks the word is.
What’s wrong with “speech recognition error” as you suggested?
Misinterpretation?
Audiographical error?
hard of hearing?
Heterographic error.
When OCR systems misinterpret a word in a text scan (like reading and as arid), it’s referred to as a “scanno”. Named in response to ‘typo’ for a typographical error.
It happens when the software fails to properly wreck a nice beach.
Since the recognition is fouled up, a reco. Which will be recognized as ‘wreck oh.’
