Proceedings of the International Conference on Spoken Language Processing, ICSLP 2002 (Denver, USA, September 2002)

In January 2021, SAIL LABS Technology GmbH was acquired by the sensor specialist HENSOLDT and became HENSOLDT Analytics.

We describe a newly created broadcast news (BN) corpus based on programs of seven different German and Austrian TV stations and the development of a German BN transcription system based on this corpus. We report on a series of experiments addressing the fact that German is less suited than English for word-based trigram language models. Furthermore, we investigate various phoneme sets and examine the difference between a transregional standard (Bavarian dialect spoken in southern Germany and Austria) and standard German (Hochdeutsch) on the word error rate.
