Typed Transcription Tasks: Asimultaneous Measure of the Intelligibility and Comprehensibility of Individual Words

---

Abstract

Typing transcription tasks offer a direct, on-line, simultaneous measure of intelligibility and comprehensibility. This study reports results from a typed transcription task of individual words comparing responses to Mandarin-and native English-accented speech. Analysis focuses on inter-keystroke latencies and proportion of corrected errors. Results show significantly greater individualkeystroke latencies and lower proportions of corrected errors for Mandarin-accent stimuli. Potential underlying causes for these results are discussed. This study concludes that the data collected in typed transcription tasks provide deeper insights into our understanding of intelligibility and comprehensibility.
