  • Patent number: 5600756
    Abstract: A method of labelling digital audio data corresponding to recorded audio ("takes"). According to this method speech recognition software is employed to generate text based on a portion of the recorded audio data. The generated text is then associated with the audio data file, thereby labelling the file based on its content. According to this technique, the need for monitoring and manual entry of text data in labelling takes is eliminated.
