Semi-Automated Speech Transcription System Study

摘要

This report describes preliminary explorations towards the design of a semi-automatic transcription system. Current transcription practices were studied and are described in this report. The promising results of several speech recognition experiments as well as a topic identification experiment, all performed on broadcast data, are reported. These experiments were designed to gauge the quality of speech recognition on broadcast data and to explore possible uses of a continuous speech recognizer in a semi-automatic transcription system. Possible future directions for research are also reported.
