Voice Recognition Software to Search Holocaust Recordings
New Scientist has an interesting article about using Voice Recognition Software to Search Holocaust Recordings. The article mentions how transcribing sentences into text is a relatively easy process, if the language spoken (english or other) is perfect. The researchers claim that the challenge here is not to transcribe the entirety of the videos of Holocaust survivors, but to extract necessary keywords. Despite their historical value, these audio tracks are imperfect, which raises a few technological issues. That aside, the accent and the emotions portrayed in the recordings prove even tougher to decifer, hence the necessity to further the knowledge in this field. |
