National Centre for Human Language Technology (NCHLT)
This project will involve the development of state-of-the-art tools and techniques for speech resource acquisition, annotation and verification. Resulting in the distribution of orthographically transcribed broadband corpora, pronunciation dictionaries, statistical language models and test suites. This project will ensure that new, cutting-edge knowledge is generated, a new generation of human talent is being developed, and that job opportunities are created for speakers of the South African languages, thereby fostering a culture of multilingualism in the South African society. In addition, it will create awareness of the unique challenges and opportunities that HLT in South Africa have, both locally and internationally. All technologies and content developed will be distributed freely as Open Source software and Open Content with the hope that it will stimulate further research and development in South African languages, both locally and internationally.
