ABSTRACT: This article describes a user-centred
method used to design innovative pattern recognition software for technical
paper documents. This kind of software can make some errors of interpretation.
It will therefore be important that human operators are able to identify and
correct these mistakes. The identification of errors is a difficult task
because operators need to establish co-reference between the initial document and it interpretation. Moreover,
users must be able to checks the interpretation without forgetting any area.
This task requires the interface is easy to use. The experiments showed that
the sequential display of interpretation is the most effective and that the
interruptions by user reduce task duration. Moreover, queries by the system may
improve error detection. This paper summarizes the main results of the research
conducted in the context of this design for enhance the interface, and
describes the specifications to which it gave rise.
