Automatic Phonetic Transcription of Large Speech Corpora
C.P.J. van Bael, Lou Boves, Henk van den Heuvel, Helmer Strik · 2006
This study is aimed at investigating whether automatic phonetic transcription procedures can approximate manual transcriptions typically delivered with contemporary large speech corpora. To this end, ten automatic procedures were used to generate a broad phonetic transcription of well-prepared speech (read-aloud texts) and spontaneous speech (telephone dialogues) from the Spoken Dutch Corpus. The resulting transcriptions were compared to manually verified phonetic transcriptions from the same corpus.
