Prerequisites for an automatic speech recognition technology for the Romanian language used in the court of law
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In response to an IT-based, strategic goal of the Romanian Ministry of Justice, the running JustASR project is responsible for developing the architecture and technical elements to be used in implementing a system which mediates the man-computer interaction via the automatic detection of the Romanian language. The project seeks to develop the core of a technology based on the automatic speech recognition of the discourse used in the Romanian court of law. The paper briefly presents the premises and some of the phonetic elements which are paramount to the project’s success. After introducing the Speech Recognition technology, the paper presents the advances of Romanian research in the field. The paper then focuses on the linguistic peculiarities of the Romanian language, the first and foremost element of the technology underlying the JustASR project. The most significant part of the paper deals with the applied aspect of the phonetic theory for the Romanian language. As far as the creation of the dictionary is concerned, the general criteria for constructing the dictionary are illustrated with a special focus on Phonetics and the word categories involved.
