Abstract

Moore (2015/this issue) claims, provocatively to some, that speech technology can be used as a labor-saving device. He points out that the production of transcriptions is time consuming, that some aspects of collection building can be handled with a degree of automation, and that some aspects of measurement can be made objective and reliable by using machines. I respond as a phonetician and interactional linguist. I want to argue that while automation is not always the right approach, working with large corpora can be healthy for our relation to data when used in the right ways.
