    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Speech register research shows that humans are adept at finetuning components of their speech to accommodate the needs audience of the audience, suggesting that they have a model of human communication needs. However, when that audience is a computer rather than another human, such a model may be invalid. Here we examine humans’ speech to other humans or an auditory-visual avatar before and after the computer or the human listener makes a listening “error”. Speech is found to be hyperarticulated in Computer- compared with Human- Directed speech, and also in speech after correction. Results are discussed in terms of human-computer interaction and ASR systems.]]
