Transcription Portal – A Zero-configuration Workbench for Transcribing Spoken Language Recordings

Authors: Christoph Draxler, Julian Pömp

Abstract:

The Transcription Portal is a web application that implements a semi-automatic workflow for orthographic transcription of spoken language recordings. The user drops audio files on the browser window and activates the tasks to perform, e. g. automatic speech recognition and manual correction. The files are processed automatically by the portal, and a graphical user interface displays the current status. After processing, the transcripts are downloaded to the local computer for further analysis and annotation.
