SCOOT: Toolkits

Many speech researchers use software toolkits which implement popular algorithms, e.g. for defining and training an ASR or building a synthesiser. Toolkits often provide recipes for common tasks.

• ASR Toolkits

• Synthesis Toolkits

• The Speech Recognition Virtual Kitchen

• aims to 'provide straightforward access to the tools and techniques used by advanced researchers' by the use of virtual machines, which 'provide a consistent, end-to-end environment for experimentation, without the need to install other software or data, and cope with their incompatibilities and peculiarities.'
