Investigating visual attention of students with different learning ability on texts generated by speech-to-text recognition

One major drawback of previous research on speech-to-text recognition (STR) is that most of their findings showing an effectiveness of STR for learning in traditional classroom were based on subjective evidences. Very few studies have used eye-tracking techniques to investigate visual attention of students on STR generated text. Furthermore, not much attention was paid to learning differences (i.e. learning ability) to use STR-text. Therefore, this study carried out one experiment in which participants' visual attention on STR generated text during lectures was investigated by employing eye-tracking technique. Besides, how differently effective STR-text can be to influence participants' learning achievement was tested. Furthermore, this paper discusses results, research findings, and implications along with conclusions and several suggestions for future development and research.
