This thesis addresses the application of automatic speech recognition to the task of offline closed-captioning of television programs, and describes the collection of corpora to support such research and an exploration of issues to be addressed. The use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for transcription of broadcast speech and as an aid to captioning is reviewed. As background to the task, the methodology for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) is presented, with particular attention given to the issues of large vocabulary language modelling and consideration of the acoustic complexity arising in broadcast material. / Thesis (MEng(Telecommunications))--University of South Australia, 2002.
