Method and implementation of transcribing speech corpora based on human-computation
Xiaodong Shi · Caai Transactions on Intelligent Systems · 2009
A new method is proposed for generating transcriptions of speech corpora based on human-computation.The method depends on collection of orthographic transcriptions and phonetic transcriptions from a large number of users by using a Web-based language learning system and choosing commonly-used labels as the transcriptions of the speech corpora.In order to guarantee the quality of transcriptions,some computer-aided mechanisms are also used to verify the collected transcriptions.This method combines speech data transcribing with language learning and cuts down the cost of transcribing corpora effectively.The technology of human-computation-based speech corpora transcribing and the detailed design of language learning system have been discussed,transcriptions generation system has also been expatiated in this article.The application of system shows that this method is an effective and economical way to generate orthographic and phonetic transcriptions.
