Technical documentation for the Freiburg-Helsinki-Tromsø Speech Corpora for Sámi, Komi and other languages.

This document is meant for project collaborators. The documentation will now and then also be relevant for anyone wanting to use our corpora or the annotation tools created by us.

Intro

The Freiburg-Helsinki-Tromsø Corpora are built in collaboration between the Freiburg Research Group for Sámi Studies, Kielipankki in Helsinki, Giellatekno in Tromsø, and members of the respective speech communities.

Our approach is to combine knowledge and tools from the applied fields of Language Documentation (often focussing on ARCHIVING, rather than on annotation) and Language Technology (often focussing on WRITTEN, rather than on spoken language) with the main goal to annotating systematically and making available the largest possible variety of language samples for further corpus-based applied and theoretical research.
