The automatic processing of speech collected in conference
style meetings has attracted considerable interest with several large scale projects devoted to this area. This paper describes the development of a baseline automatic speech transcription system for meetings in the context of the AMI (Augmented Multiparty Interaction) project. We present several techniques important to processing of this data and show the performance in terms of word error rates (WERs). An important aspect of transcription of this data is the necessary flexibility in terms of
audio pre-processing. Real world systems have to deal with flexible input,for example by using microphone arrays or randomly placed microphones in a room. Automatic segmentation and microphone array processing techniques are described and the effect on WERs is discussed. The system and its components presented in this paper yield compettive performance
and form a baseline for future research in this domain.
