Multi-Lingual approaches to the automatic annotation of speech

• All the methods are implemented into SPPAS
• SPPAS is a computer software tool designed and developed to handle multiple language corpora and/or tasks with the same algorithms in the same software environment.
• SPPAS emphasizes new practices in the methodology of tool developments:
  • considering problems with a generic multi-lingual aspect,
  • sharing resources,
  • putting the end-users in control of their own computing.
• Only the resources are language-specific and the approach is based on the simplest resources possible.

Resources extend

• Phoneticians are of crucial importance for resource development
  • they can contribute to improve the resources used by automatic systems.
• New versions are systematically released to the public and serve to benefit of the whole community.

Resources extend (continued)

• Resources are distributed under the terms of a public license, so that SPPAS users:
  • have free access to the application source code and the resources of the software they use,
  • are free to share the software and resources with other people,
  • are free to modify the software and resources,
  • are free to publish their modified versions of the software and resources.
