Synchronisation of a voice recording with the corresponding text is a common task in speech
and music processing, and is used in many practical applications (automatic subtitling …

The synchronization of text transcripts with audio tracks is typically solved by forced
alignment at the phonetic level. However, when dealing with either very long audio tracks or …

We describe the alignment systems developed both for the preparation of data for the Multi-
