Researchers have developed Easper, an open-source, no-code workflow designed to help linguists fine-tune Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models for language documentation. This pipeline leverages cloud resources and ELAN annotations, addressing the technical expertise gap often faced by field linguists. The study also explored transcription prioritization strategies, finding that focusing on lexically rich narratives and acoustic-phonetic repetition, even with noisy data, accelerates model accuracy improvements.
