Abstract

In a computerized method for collecting speech data, Web pages of client computers connected to the Internet are enabled to acquire speech signal and information characterizing the speech. The addresses of the enabled Web pages are stored in a list in a memory of a Web server computer. Based on predetermined criteria and the list, some of the enabled client computers are selected to acquire the speech signal and information. The acquired speech signal and information are transmitted to the server computer to generate, train, and evaluate acoustic-phonetic models.
