- Abstract:
-
The paper presents methods for evaluating the accuracy of alignments between transcriptions and audio recordings. The methods have been applied to the Spoken British National Corpus, which is an extensive and varied corpus of natural unscripted speech. Early results show good agreement with human ratings of alignment accuracy. The methods also provide an indication of the location of likely alignment problems; this should allow efficient manual examination of large corpora. Automatic checking...
