Abstract

The Linguistic Data Consortium collected in 2000 approximately 30 hours of broadcast audio from the Voice of America news service in Czech. The 62 data files presented in this corpus represent the transcripts of the daily broadcasts of 30-minute news programs. The transcriptions were created by native Czech speakers, Pavel Ircing, Jindrich Matousek, Ludek Muller, and Vlasta Radova, working at the Department of Cybernetics, University of West Bohemia (UWB) in Pilsen under the direction of Josef Psutka. They used transcription software provided by the LDC (the "transcriber" package), developed by Eduoard Geoffrois and Claude Barras at DGA, France, with assistance from Zhibiao Wu at the LDC. The package is currently available from the LDC web site: www.ldc.upenn.edu. The version of transcriber used for this project produced a text file format which is no longer supported by the current version of the software; also, the format does not resemble any previous transcription format published by the LDC.
