Abstract
This paper describes initial work on an application for the retrieval of spoken documents in multimedia systems. Speech documents pose a particular problem for retrieval since the contents are unknown. The VMR project seeks to address this problem for a video mail application by combining state of the art speech recognition with established document retrieval technologies to provide an effective and efficient retrieval tool. Experiments with a small spoken message collection show that retrieval precision for the spoken file can reach 90% of that obtained when the same file is used, as a benchmark, in text transcription form.
