Speech materials and instrumentation

Abstract

To a certain extent recording of speech samples and analysis of exemplars depends on the quality and contents of the material prepared for experiments. Therefore, preparing speech materials seems an important part of the research methodology. For this particular case study, various texts have been prepared in Standard Hindi using devnagri script, including the words or phrases commonly found in telephonic interception of criminal acts. Later, these prepared texts were transliterated into each dialect chosen for the study considering the accent as well as the uses.
