Disfluencies and Human Speech Transcription Errors

Abstract

This paper explores contexts associated with errors in transcription of spontaneous speech, shedding light on human perception of disfluencies and other conversational speech phenomena. A new version of the Switchboard corpus is provided with disfluency annotations for careful speech transcripts, together with results showing the impact of transcription errors on evaluation of automatic disfluency detection.
