This paper deals with use of MAUD as an oral interface for data entry and the description of the speech component of this system. The interface of MAUD has to combine voice-driven and keyboard dialogue in order to allow the user to use both keyboard and voice. The speech recognition system participated at the AUPELF-UREF evaluation of dictation machines. MAUD uses a vocabulary of 20 000 words. The mode of speech is continuous, and the language model was built with corpora of over than 48 million of words extracted from French newspapers.
