A low-cost phonetic transcription method
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper our goal is to nd the phonetic transcription of spoken utterances. We present a method which uses information extracted directly from the word-based search to compute the most likely phoneme sequence. Utterances are transcribed during recognition, so that the phonetic representation of the input is available after the search. Using this method, the computational cost of the word-based search remains almost unaltered, and the phonetic transcription is obtained almost for free.

Automatic phonetic transcription of large speech corpora: a comparative study
This study investigates whether automatic transcription procedures can approximate manual phonetic transcriptions typically delivered with contemporary large speech corpora. We used ten automatic procedures to generate a broad phonetic transcription of well-prepared speech (read-aloud texts) and spontaneous speech (telephone dialogues). The resulting transcriptions were compared to manually ver...
متن کاملA Norwegian Letter-to-Sound Engine with Danish as a Catalyst
Danish phonetics and Norwegian phonetics are not all that different. This fact is exploited in an ongoing project establishing a phonetic transcription algorithm for (East-) Norwegian. Using methods known from machine learning we exploit a publicly available phonetic database for Danish (based on the Danish PAROLE corpus) arriving at a cost-competitive phonetic database for Norwegian. While the...
متن کاملPhonetic variability in residual speech sound disorders: Exploration of subtypes.
PURPOSE: To explore whether subgroups of children with residual speech sound disorders (R-SSDs) can be identified through multiple measures of token-to-token phonetic variability. METHOD: Children with R-SSDs were recorded during a rapid multisyllabic picture naming task and an oral diadochokinetic task. Transcription-based and acoustic measures of token-to-token variability were derived. Arti...
متن کاملImproving Automatic Phonetic Transcription of Spontaneous Speech Through Variant-Based Pronunciation Variation Modelling
In this paper we present an experiment aimed at improving automatic phonetic transcription of Dutch spontaneous speech through a variant-based method of pronunciation variation modelling. For spontaneous speech, the literature does not always provide enough rules to describe its characteristic phonological processes. Therefore, other methods should be applied to model pronunciation variation fo...
متن کاملAcoustics-based phonetic transcription method for proper nouns
This paper focuses on an approach to improve automatic phonetic transcription of proper nouns. The method is based on a two-level iterative process that extract the phonetic variants from the audio signals before filtering the irrelevant variants. The evaluation of the method shows a decreasing of the Word Error Rate (WER) on segments of speech with proper nouns, without affecting negatively th...
