SCAN - Speech Content Based Audio Navigator: A Systems Overview.
Proceedings of ICSLP 98, Sydney, Australia, 1998.

Abstract: SCAN (Speech Content based Audio Navigator) is a spoken document
retrieval system integrating speaker-independent, large-vocabulary speech
recognition with information-retrieval to support query-based retrieval of
information from speech archives. Initial development focused on the application
of SCAN to the broadcast news domain. This paper provides an overview of this
system, including a description of its graphical user interface which incorporates
machine-generated speech transcripts to provide local contextual navigation and
random access for browsing large speech databases.
