THE SPEECHDAT(E) PROJECT : CREATING SPEECH DATABASES FOR EASTERN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES
Henk van den Heuvel, Valery Galounov, Herbert S. Tropf
ABSTRACT
Introduction
For the implementation of the speech processing technology, i.e. speech recognition and speaker verification, language specific spoken language resources, i.e. speech databases, lexica and related tools, are needed. In order to be competitive with American companies, European companies have to create an effective infrastructure to deal successfully with their multilingual environment. The EU-projects SpeechDat(M), SpeechDat(II), SpeechDat(Car) and ELRA are part of such an infrastructure to create, validate and distribute spoken language resources. These projects were focused on Western European languages. Responding on the fast growing trade between Eastern andWestern Europe this infrastructure has to be extended to Eastern European languages. In this spirit the proposed project SpeechDat(E) has its focus on the creation of spoken language resources for Eastern European languages, namely for Russian, Czech, and Slovak.
