| dc.description.abstract | Building transcribed speech corpora for under-resourced
languages plays a pivotal role in developing speech technologies
for such languages. We have developed an open-source
tool for devices running the Android operating system to facilitate
the efficient collection of speech data for Automatic Speech
Recognition system development. The tool was designed for
use in typical developing-world conditions; we present the relevant
design choices and analyse the effectiveness of this tool
by means of a case study. In particular, we introduce a novel
semi-real-time quality monitoring system, which increases the
efficiency of the data collection process. | en_US |
