Abstract
In the Macintosh world of computing, HyperCard, an information management software package, has become a popular tool for developing rapid-prototypes of user interfaces. The development of the first Macintosh-based speech recognizer (by Articulate Systems, Inc.) has enabled engineers at the NASA Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) to use HyperCard to develop prototype speech recognition interfaces for space applications. Using specifications from NASA-JSC contractor engineers, special HyperCard XCMD's were developed by Articulate Systems to assist in NASA-JSC's research applications. By working with these programs, project engineers have learned how to use them to unobtrusively collect and record quantitative speech recognition data. The objective of this report is to describe the features of the system and to instruct HF professionals how to perform speech recognition research with HyperCard.
