CAN Podcast Episode 2 ASR
Channel: VCCA Computational Audiology
Date: 2022-04-24

You are witnessing a recording of an interview that was prepared as an experiment using an automated speech recognition system (speech to text). One of the participants, Dimitri Kanevsky is deaf and needs to read the transcript of what is said in order to follow the discussion, the other participants are normal hearing. We all need to take time so that we read the transcript and confirm that we understand each other properly. We are using Google Meet and Google Relate, a prototype system not yet publicly released, that is trained on Dimitri’s speech. In addition, we are in different time zones (16 hours apart), haven’t met in person before, and English is not the first language for all of us. Of course, we hope the internet connection will not fail us. There will be a video recording and an audio-only recording. The (edited) video recording will include the transcript of what is said by Dimitri.
