Coming soon.
The participation of the Speech Processing Laboratory at MSU (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) in this project allows the development of a robust search capability. The great weakness of most sound data collections is the need to use transcripts to navigate at a detailed level. As the projects develops, users will benefit from a search capability that will allow identification of key words, concepts and names. In collaboration with the Robust Speech Processing Laboratory at Duke University, we will work to develop solutions to the challenge of enabling keyword, topic, speaker, and language searches of the sound files themselves. This search facility will help make the site much friendlier for users in all of our target categories.
