Abstract

This paper describes DialogueView, a tool for annotating dialogues with utterance boundaries, speech repairs, speech act tags, and discourse segments. The tool provides several views of the data, including a word view that is time-aligned with the audio signal, and an utterance view that shows the dialogue as if it were a script for a play. The utterance view abstracts away from lower level details that are coded in the word view. This allows the annotator to have a simpler view of the dialogue when coding speech act tags and discourse structure, but still have access to the details when needed.
