There are 22 scheduled languages in India and several hundreds of under-resourced languages. Development of speech technologies like speech recognition, machine translation, speech synthesis and speech to speech translation systems for these languages is a resource and time intensive task. Apart from technology development, speech and language data collection in the under-resourced languages may also be aimed towards creating linguistic archives for community use and for linguistic analysis in digital, easily usable and open access manner. In this workshop, we intend to learn how linguistic data archiving, analysis and technology development can be accomplished in a synergetic manner.

Eminent researchers from all over the world, specialising in the fields of speech and language processing, linguistic analysis, archiving and technology development will share their experience and expertise in this workshop. Apart from in-depth discussions, the sessions are designed to have ample time for the participants to have open discussions with the speakers.
