A French Non-Native Corpus for Automatic Speech Recognition
Tien-Ping Tan, Laurent Besacier · 2006
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology has achieved a level of maturity, where it is already practical to be used by novice users.However, most non-native speakers are still not comfortable with services including ASR systems, because of the accuracy on non-native speakers.This paper describes our approach in constructing a non-native corpus particularly in French for testing and adapting non-native speaker for automatic speech recognition.Finally, we also propose in this paper a method for detecting pronunciation variants and possible pronunciation mistakes by non-native speakers.
