Abstract

This study aimed to apply Speech to Text Recognition (STR) for individual oral presentations and group discussions of students in a synchronous cyber classroom. An experiment was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of applying STR on learning performance. Students' perceptions and behavioral intentions toward using STR were also investigated. The results revealed students of the experimental group performed significantly better compared to students of the control group in writing essays, intermediate test and posttest. In addition, students perceived the STR was easy to use and useful for learning. Most of the students expressed that they are willing to use the STR for learning in the future. The results of this study showed that the STR is beneficial to students' oral presentations and group discussions in a synchronous cyber classroom so as to improve their overall learning achievement.
