Audio collection process

Assalumu alaykum. You have visited the system designed to form a speech corpus for the system of automatic recognition of the Uzbek language point. Thank you for your help. Your help is very important to us.


* To use the system, you will first need to fill out a survey (in case of first visit).
* You will be asked to read the text by pressing the microphone button once and then press the microphone button again.
* Listen to the generated audio file and see if it is correct. click the " Submit " button.
* You can rewrite the audio if it is read incorrectly.
* Click the " Generate text " button to change the text provided to you!

Automatic Speech Recognition

Below is the demo of the automatic speech recognition system built using Uzbek speech corpus. Please press the microphone button and speak immediately until the counter reaches zero. The recognized output will be displayed above the microphone button after 10 seconds. Note that some browsers do not support voice recording features !!!


* First, select the model. ( Pay attention to the indicators of WER-Word Error Rate and CER-Character Error Rate !)
* Choose the language model (LM-Language model) corresponding to the selected model.
* Press the microphone button and speak immediately until the counter reaches zero.
* The recognized output will be displayed above the microphone button after 10 seconds.
* The microphone button is pressed again to perform a new test.
