    ATTENTION:

    If you would like to use the Octra backend yourself during the workshop, please log in using either your university account or your own login: https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/apps/octra/backend/login

    The Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS) offers researchers easy access to spoken language resources and language technology through its repository (https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASRepository/) and, above all, its web services (https://clarin. phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/), the Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS) provides researchers with easy access to spoken language resources and speech technology. The repository and services are continuously maintained and further developed—in recent months, several new speech corpora have been added to the repository (including those from the student project “Cat-directed speech”), WebMAUS for automatic phonetic segmentation has been updated, and two new web-based tools have been added: TranscriptionPortal for automatic orthographic speech recognition, and Octra Backend for managing transcription projects, specifically designed to meet high privacy protection requirements.

    The tutorial provides an overview of the current resources at BAS, introduces the new developments, and offers tips on how to make effective use of the web services. We’d also be happy to conduct hands-on exercises using your own data!
