Abstract

This paper describes a web application that was designed to prepare and process speech corpora, key data sources for automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), speech synthesis (TTS) and many other tasks. The application allows users to process the corpora with no other equipment than a web browser with internet connection. The application has been used, upgraded and improved for several years and its history is also described here. During that time, many valuable experiences with speech corpora processing have been gained and they are also mentioned as some good practices.
