14:00 – 17:00, SpeechTEK University: Performing a Comparative ASR Evaluation, Dan Burnett

There are a variety of choices for speech recognition engines, especially for languages other than English.  Although many companies are comfortable performing business case analyses across speech recognition engine vendors, it is often difficult to know how to compare accuracy.  In this hands-on, in-depth course you will learn how to select an appropriate evaluation data set, why transcription is important and how to do it properly, how to perform the evaluation, and how to analyse and interpret the results.
