Transcribing with Annotation Graphs
Edouard Geoffrois, Claude Barras, Steven Bird, Zhibiao Wu · 2000
Transcriber is a tool for manual annotation of large speech files.It was originally designed for the broadcast news transcription task.The annotation file format was derived from previous formats used for this task, and many related features were hard-coded.In this paper we present a generalization of the tool based on the annotation graph formalism, and on a more modular design.This will allow us to address new tasks, while retaining Transcriber's simple, crisp user-interface which is critical for user acceptance.
