Investigating the Effectiveness, the Intelligent Speech Recognition System in Correctly Retrieving Narrative Literature Information

Objective: This research has been carried out with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of using the intelligent speech recognition system in correctly retrieving the information of narrative literature for elementary school children. Methodology: This research is practical in terms of purpose and was done with a semi-experimental method. The statistical population of the research consists of first to third grade elementary school children, 36 of whom were selected as a sample using stratified sampling method. In order to conduct this study, two intelligent speech recognition system tools and a storytelling application called "Audio Story Book" were used. To collect the data, a questionnaire and a checklist designed according to the research questions. The questionnaire was used to complete the survey and evaluate the determined criteria. SPSS27 statistical software and one-way analysis of variance statistical test were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings of this research showed that the average number of errors in the story information retrieved by the children of the intelligent speech recognition system group with an average of 0.7 is more than the human voice group and less than the storytelling application group. The average length of story information retrieved by the children of the intelligent speech recognition system group with an average of 3.966 is less than the human voice group and more than the storytelling application group. The average speed of retrieving story information by children in the intelligent speech system group with an average of 2.583 is lower than the human voice group and higher than the storytelling application group. The average accuracy of story information retrieved by the speech recognition system group children is lower than the human voice group and higher than the storytelling application group with an average of 3.4. Conclusions: The results of this research showed that the use of intelligent speech recognition system is not significantly effective in correctly retrieving the information of narrative literature of primary school children. Children who were told stories by a human had higher accuracy and concentration, and this could be due to physical, emotional, eye, face-to-face communication and environmental conditions that affected their psyche and increased memory and learning performance, increased attention and concentration, quick processing of information, perceptual organization and recall of information, which led to their complete understanding and comprehension
