An online system for entering and annotating non-native Mandarin Chinese speech for language teaching

摘要: This thesis describes the design and implementation of an intuitive online system for annotation non-native Mandarin Chinese speech by native speakers. will allow recognition researchers to easily generate a corpus labeled speech. We have five speakers test on sample bank 250 utterances observe fair moderate inter-rater agreement scores. In addition giving us benchmark agreement, this also demonstrates feasibility having remote graders annotate sets utterances. Finally, we extend our work language instruction creating web-based interface reading assignments. Our is simple, integrated solution completing correcting spoken assignments, that streamlines compilation use in future research.
