Improvement of German Vocabulary in Tourism Through an Optical Recognition (OCR) and Speech Recognition-Based Digital Dictionary

This paper attempts to describe teaching materials in the form of a
bilingual (Indonesian-German, German-Indonesian) German dictionary
application in the field of tourism using Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
and Android-based Speech Recognition which can later be used as a guide for
German students as well as a guide for tour guides (ReiseführerIn) which is
very useful for improving competence and practical German language skills,
especially in the field of tourism. This research is a research using literature
study method or literature review. Through a digital dictionary based on OCR
and Android-based Speech Recognition, it is hoped that there will be an
increase in student competencies and skills in the field of tourism
professionally who are able to identify, explain and provide information
related to local wisdom. Through this learning media, students and German
language learners as well as the general public can learn independently and
be guided in bilingual communication, because the learning media is
presented interactively with OCR and Speech Recognition features, but does
not reduce the essence of the contents of the dictionary, so that motivation
and understanding in learning German, especially related to tourism and local
wisdom can be more intact.
