1. Vince Weatherill, Notes from the '92 ICSLP Workshop

 Notes from the
 Workshop on Orthographic and Phonetic Transcription
 at the 1992 International Conference on
 Spoken Language Processing
 Banff, Alberta, Canada
 October 12-16, 1992

Notes from the 1992 ICSLP Workshop on Orthographic and Phonetic
Transcription are now available through anonymous ftp. The Workshop
was organized by Margot Peet, The MITRE Corporation, and Ron Cole,
Oregon Graduate Institute. The Workshop goals were to agree on areas where
community-wide conventions are needed, to identify and document
current work, and to establish a means of future communication and
continued cooperation.

The session leaders mentioned below presented the workshop with a
brief overview of the nature of the problem in each area, and a sketch
of the state of the art and issues and challenges. Workshop members
then convened into four breakout groups. Notes of the breakout group
discussions are being provided to attendees who signed up to receive
copies of the notes.

The Workshop notes were compiled by the scribes and leaders of the
four breakout groups:

Session Topic: Spontaneous Speech
