Abstract

The Visual History Foundation collected recently about 52 thousand testimonies of Holocaust survivors pronounced in 32 languages. There are approx. 580 Slovak testimonies with a total length of 1 300 hours. It is not feasible to transcribe all those testimonies maually due to the enornous time and money demands. Thus the transcription is performed using the automatic speech recognition system – data forthe system development were acquired from the Slovak Malach Speech Corpus. The basic AM unit is a triphone represented by a 5-state HMM, where every state is modeled as a GMM with 16 mixtures. The total number of states was reduced to 7902 using a phonetic clustering tree. The language model is designed as a combination of 2 bigram models.
