The only way to achieve this goal for the majority of the world’s languages is to collect speech. Speech has the added advantage of providing information about phonetics, phonology, and prosody. Speech is also the primary register for dialogue, the most common form of language use. We argue that a combination of community outreach, crowdsourcing techniques, and mobile/web technologies make it relatively easy to collect hundreds or thousands of hours of speech (Callison-Burch and Dredze, 2010; Hughes et al., 2010; Anon 2010). On its own, this would leave us with a large archive of uninterpreted audio recordings and – once the languages are no longer spoken – an onerous and unverifiable decipherment problem. To avoid this problem and to ensure interpretability, there must be a documentary record that includes translation into a major language. We take as our guide the current typical practice in documentary linguistics, which is to record and report data as interlinear glossed text. To this end, we add two layers of audio annotation to the primary recordings. The first layer is careful respeaking, or “audio transcription,” in which native speakers listen to the recordings phrase by phrase, and respeak each phrase slowly and carefully. The second layer is oral translation, in which bilingual speakers produce phrase-by-phrase interpretation of the original recordings into a widely-spoken contact language such as English. This combination of respeaking and interpreting constitutes an “acoustic Rosetta stone” which, over time, will grow to a sufficient size to allow open-ended analysis of the language even when it is no longer spoken, including new methods for developing automatic phonetic recognizers and automatic translation systems (Liberman et al., 2013, Lee et al., 2013, Anon 2013). We will demonstrate a novel way to work with the speakers of endangered languages to collect these spoken language annotations and interlinear glossed texts on a large scale. Our approach addresses key issues in such areas as informed consent, quality control, workflow management, and the diverse technological situations of linguistic fieldwork. Our work promises to speed up the process of preserving the world’s languages and enable future study of these languages and access to knowledge that is captured in archived speech recordings.
