ISCAN: a System for Integrated Phonetic Analyses Across Speech Corpora
Speech corpora of many languages, styles, and formats exist in the world, representing significant potential for the phonetic sciences. However in practice there are significant practical and methodological barriers to conducting the “same study” across
corpora, including necessary technical skills and
non-comparability of results using non-standardized
measures. We introduce an open-source software
system for Integrated Speech Corpus ANalysis (ISCAN), which enables automated acoustic phonetic
analysis across spoken corpora of diverse formats
and sizes. A web-browser-based GUI and Python
package allow for different user backgrounds. The
system is a major update of core functionality for
fully- automated speech corpus analysis (importing, enriching, querying) from a previous version, to
meet new goals: different user configurations, working with restricted datasets, and interacting with data
(visualization and correction). The system’s flexibility for different projects is shown in two use cases:
large-scale automatic segmental analysis of spontaneous speech across English dialects, and smallerscale semi-automatic prosodic analysis
