The Word Processor is a new tool for audio and text composition. The Word Processor is also a new tool for analysing the machine logics and potentials of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) – part of a methodology for exploring the problem. |

You never really know what speech interfaces, like Siri, hear, or how. The Word Processor shows ASR at work. By appropriating methods from speech-to-text and ASR as parameters for text and audio composition and experimentation, the Word Processor is a means to ‘lift the hood’ or ‘open the black box’ of otherwise opaque but ubiquitous technology. Here, machine listenings, mishearings and nonhearings become material for making and knowing. |

A public version of the {{<nosup>}}[word processor](http://instrument.machinelistening.exposed/){{</nosup>}} is now available with a range of preloaded transcripts. We are intersted in how the instrument might be turned on to certain kinds of speech. The corpus of transcripts, which is largely drawn from technologists and coporations talking about ASR, is one place to start. |
