Abstract
This work summarizes our project to propose a set of automatic
tools for analyzing the phonetic and phonological content
of spoken Hebrew. The goal of the project is to provide
a set of resources to scientists and engineers who work on
research and engineering problems related to the acoustics
and linguistics of the modern Hebrew language. The set of
tools includes: (i) a transcribed corpus of Modern Hebrew;
(ii) a phonetic classifier; (iii) a forced aligner, and (iv) an
automatic procedure for converting dotted (vowelized) orthographic
transcription into phonemic transcription. This tool
along with the forced aligner can be used to automatically
align words and their phonemes to the speech signal. We are
not familiar with any such publicly available corpus or tools
for the Hebrew language.
