00:00:00.794--> 00:00:05.880
My name is Silvia Calamai and I work
at the University of Siena in Arezzo

00:00:06.002--> 00:00:08.753
I'm a general
linguist a dietician

00:00:09.365--> 00:00:14.556
Over the years I collected
discovered invented cataloged

00:00:14.581--> 00:00:19.878
Oral archive of Tuscan
origin from the 70's onwards

00:00:20.663--> 00:00:25.608
This immense material of
spoken and sung Tuscan

00:00:26.699--> 00:00:30.532
Need to be studied to be
studied also by linguists

00:00:30.548--> 00:00:33.151
Not only by linguists
but also by linguists

00:00:34.960--> 00:00:41.278
Voice Technologies can provide
tools and facilitate work

00:00:41.907--> 00:00:46.671
Through automatic alignment recognition
systems through alignment systems

00:00:46.682--> 00:00:56.031
This would greatly facilitate the research work of those who
are on the part of the phonetic sociology of sociolinguistics

00:00:56.493--> 00:01:07.534
It would allow to see the changes in phonetic
aspects in prononciation and accents in intonation

00:01:07.559--> 00:01:11.492
Which have occurred over the
last 70 years in a region

00:01:11.831--> 00:01:17.904
Then this hand-made work and
long takes time is dispersive

00:01:17.929--> 00:01:23.915
If we succeed through Clarin's
infrastructure and across

00:01:25.436--> 00:01:30.128
Collaboration a close
dialogue with unitechnologies

00:01:30.153--> 00:01:32.791
If we can talk to them to
find a common vocabulary

00:01:33.336--> 00:01:37.845
We eventually could have a
lot of data flight numbers

00:01:39.385--> 00:01:42.440
To be analyzed from a phonetic
partner point of view

00:01:42.964--> 00:01:50.225
And we could describe it with a reliable
database that could be verified by the Community

00:01:50.265--> 00:01:55.720
We could describe the changes the
phonetic changes we have been in a region

00:01:56.355--> 00:01:57.472
not only

00:01:57.575--> 00:02:05.468
We could if the transcription chain
automation process is successful

00:02:06.699--> 00:02:12.757
We could make reading a great
deal of sound material accessible

00:02:13.678--> 00:02:16.887
The wonderful thing about oral
archives is that they are located

00:02:16.912--> 00:02:21.300
In the middle of a cross between
disciplines also very different

00:02:21.341--> 00:02:29.208
Sociolinguistic oralists sociologists
economists and geographers

00:02:29.242--> 00:02:33.861
Then the oral archives
are an imaginary place

00:02:35.074--> 00:02:41.827
In order to be able to find research
routes is truly interdisciplinary

00:02:42.065--> 00:02:48.130
Regarding my discipline, we only
have to take advantage of it

00:02:48.337--> 00:02:52.219
On the other hand, and Voice
Technologies face a challenge

00:02:52.410--> 00:02:56.343
To be able to create models of
automatic speech recognition

00:02:56.820--> 00:03:04.947
Strong enough even on a dirty talk
about a regional dialectical talk

00:03:05.067--> 00:03:12.885
It is said that it is not the one collected in the
anecoic chamber of an aseptic experimental context

00:03:12.988--> 00:03:20.948
Real talk offers even very challenging
challenges on the technological side

00:03:20.964--> 00:03:29.073
Then at the oral archives it is good to
open them up that makes them accessible

00:03:29.098--> 00:03:36.026
That he is willing to digitize and catalog them
to describe them and return them to the community

00:03:37.156--> 00:03:42.957
And technologies must be ready and
available to talk to humanists

00:03:43.950--> 00:03:55.027
To make a common effort make this path
richer and fuller of search results

00:03:58.517--> 00:04:03.587
Make it accessible
and store archive

00:04:03.897--> 00:04:11.127
Regardless of the discipline
accessible and even interrogative

00:04:13.643--> 00:04:22.955
Find the way to put it on a common
vocabulary with the world of technology

00:04:22.980--> 00:04:27.641
Sometimes hard or hard
to understand them

00:04:27.768--> 00:04:34.553
Technologists but I feel that the existing technicians
are struggling to understand the humanists

00:04:34.561--> 00:04:41.404
Then this can be a very fertile
ground for us but also for them
