Abstract
A dictation module is described herein which receives and interprets a complete utterance of the user in incremental fashion, that is, one incremental portion at a time. The dictation module also provides rendered text in incremental fashion. The rendered text corresponds to the dictation module's interpretation of each incremental portion. The dictation module also allows the user to modify any part of the rendered text, as it becomes available. In one case, for instance, the dictation module provides a marking menu which includes multiple options by which a user can modify a selected part of the rendered text. The dictation module also uses the rendered text (as modified or unmodified by the user using the marking menu) to adjust one or more models used by the dictation model to interpret the user's utterance.
