This tool could also be manually activated ( ) by the user. The type of recognition problem is identified ( ) by the user or automatically by the system, and the system provides ( ) possible solution steps for enabling the user to adjust ( ) system parameters or modify user behavior in order to alleviate the recognition problem. The system also provides the user the ability to test ( ) the transcription process in order to determine whether the solution has improved the recognition accuracy.
