File Transfer

As discussed in section you might use recording devices that are not computers and will store the digitized signal data on media that cannot be read directly from your post-processing machine. If this is the case in your speech corpus production, the very first step is of course the transfer to a proper signal file. Set up check procedures to ensure that no data loss may happen during this transfer. Since the transfer techniques from non-computer devices to a computer is often designed without automatic hand-shake and size-verification procedures, you might loose data without any error messages from your devices.
