Transcription

The SmartKom transcription format15.1is an overlay of very different information layers to the speech signal. From a technical point of view these layers would be better represented in separated layers coded in XML. However, we found that it is much more time consuming to produce 7 different layers of information than one complex transcript. If the format is valid and parsable, you may separate the layers later automatically15.2. Furthermore, the complex transcript is easier to read because the time relations are more obvious.

Assume for the following list of tags that a dialogue between a machine and a human being is transcribed turn by turn by listening to the signals.
