CA 2341219

A point-of-sale terminal initiates a transaction and provides a prompt to be spoken to an operator (e.g. a cashier) of the POS terminal. The prompt indicates a verbal message that is to be spoken by the operator. The POS terminal then receives an audio signal via a microphone or similar device to record what the operator has spoken. Using speech recognition, the POS terminal determines whether the audio signal corresponds to the prompt, and thus whether the operator spoke the prompt properly. In one embodiment, the transaction is paused until the operator properly speaks the prompt. In another embodiment, the POS terminal stores an indication of whether the operator has properly spoken the prompt, thereby allowing the performance of the operator to be measured.

Le terminal PdV (point de vente) de la présente invention lance une transaction puis invite par un message l'opérateur qui peut être le caissier du terminal PdV à dire un texte. Le message de l'invitation contient un texte que doit dire l'opérateur. Le terminal PdV met alors en oeuvre un microphone ou un dispositif analogue pour enregistrer sous forme de signal audio le texte dit par l'opérateur. Le terminal PdV utilise alors les techniques de reconnaissance vocale pour vérifier que le signal audio correspond bien au texte proposé, et par tant, que la diction du texte est correcte. Selon une réalisation, la transaction attend en pause que l'opérateur ait dit le texte correctement. Selon une autre réalisation, le terminal PdV garde un indicateur rappelant si l'opérateur a bien ou mal dit le texte, ce qui donne une mesure de l'efficacité de l'opérateur.
