Information about the transliterations for the Verbmobil Corpus

The transliteration files to the Verbmobil Corpus can be found on the official VERBMOBIL FTP Server (only password access) in Saarbrücken (ftp.dfki.uni-sb.de) in the subdir /FTP-SERVER/vm-daten/trl.

Please note that these files are updated approx. every 3 months to correct known errors. The updates are documented in the file trl-history.txt in the same directory of the server.

The handbook of data collection and transliteration VM I in TP14 of VERBMOBIL was produced by IPDS Kiel (VERBMOBIL techdok-11-94.ps).
A short version of the handbook can be found in the Transliterations-Lexikon.

The manual for the transliteration in VM II can be found here (German only!). An English adaption to the format is described at CMU

Other backround information about the recordings can be found in the Verbmobil speaker database (or by retrieving the file AufDat.txt from the Verbmobil FTP server, see above).
