Designed to allow visual communication of speech signals, Cued Speech consists of discrete hand signals that are produced in synchrony with the visual mouth movements of speech. The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for transcribing these hand signals. Procedures are presented for identifying (1) the steady-state portion of the cue to be analyzed, (2) the cue’s handshape, and (3) the cue’s placement. Reliability is evaluated, using materials from 12 cuers that were transcribed on two separate occasions (either by the original rater or a second rater). Results show very good intra-rater and inter-rater reliability on average, which remained good across a variety of individual cuers, even when the cuer’s hand gestures were heavily coarticulated. Given its high reliability, this transcription method may be of benefit to applications that require systematic and quantitative analysis of Cued Speech production in various populations. In addition, some of the transcription principles from this method may be helpful in improving accuracy of automatic Cued Speech recognition systems.

一种转录提示语音的手动组件的方法。

Cued Speech 旨在允许语音信号的视觉交流,由与语音的视觉嘴部运动同步产生的离散手部信号组成。本文的目的是描述一种转录这些手势的方法。介绍了识别 (1) 要分析的提示的稳态部分、(2) 提示的手形和 (3) 提示的位置的程序。使用来自 12 个线索的材料来评估可靠性,这些材料在两个不同的场合(由原始评估者或第二个评估者)转录。结果显示,平均而言,评分者内和评分者间的可靠性非常好,即使在提示者的手势被严重联动时,这种可靠性在各种个体线索中仍然保持良好。鉴于其高可靠性,这种转录方法可能有益于需要对不同人群中的提示语音产生进行系统和定量分析的应用。此外,该方法的一些转录原则可能有助于提高自动提示语音识别系统的准确性。
