Abstract

There are 286 transcripts, corresponding to the 286 audio files (approximately 50 hours of broadcast news). The transcripts contain approximately 196K words and 27K unique words. The news does not contain weather forecasts, sports news, or traffic announcements. The transcripts were created by native Czech speakers working at the Department of Cybernetics, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, under the direction of Vlasta Radova. The transcription was done using software provided by the LDC (Transcriber 1.4.1). Those parts of the audio recordings that do not contain speech or where the signal was disrupted were not transcribed. As a consequence, the corpus contains about 23 hours of transcribed speech. The transcriptions are provided both in the ISO-8859-2 and Windows-1250 character set.
