Abstract

This study is an extension of Inceoglu et al.’s (2023) study on Google Voice Typing as a pronunciation learning tool. We used the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tool on the dictation.io website (Agarwal, 2022), and our participants were L2 English learners of a different L1, but similar proficiency level. Twelve L1 English listeners assessed the L2 English from four L1 French speakers in terms of intelligibility and comprehensibility, measured by word transcription and Likert scale ratings respectively. Their scores were compared to ASR output. The goal was to determine how accurate the tool is, and to what extent its accuracy correlates with human listeners. The results were generally consistent with those of Inceoglu et al. (2023), with few exceptions which we discuss in the current study.

ASR 与 L1 听者识别 L2 学习者语音的一致性：法语 EFL 学习者与听写.Io

本研究是 Inceoglu 等人（2023 年）将谷歌语音打字作为发音学习工具研究的延伸。我们使用了 dictation.io 网站上的自动语音识别（ASR）工具（Agarwal，2022 年），我们的参与者是 L1 不同但水平相似的 L2 英语学习者。12 名第一语言为英语的听者对 4 名第一语言为法语的听者所讲的第二语言英语进行了可懂度和可理解度评估，分别通过单词转录和李克特量表评分来衡量。他们的评分与 ASR 输出进行了比较。目的是确定该工具的准确性，以及其准确性与人类听者的相关程度。研究结果与 Inceoglu 等人（2023 年）的研究结果基本一致，只有少数例外，我们将在本研究中讨论。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
