Automatic tools have been developped to segment oral corpora :
- An automatic syntactic segmenter in German: The tool takes as an input FOLKER transcripts (FLN-XML format) which are segmented into inter-pausal units and automatically calculates boundaries of syntactic segments, merging and splitting the respective contributions as needed, and adjusting the alignment through an appropriate interpolation. The ouput is again a FOLKER transcript in FLN-XML format. The segmenter is currently applied in the internal workflow of the FOLK project.
