About

Delyth Prys is a leading figure in language technology and digital revitalization for the Welsh language. Her research centers on speech and language processing for minority languages, with a particular focus on developing large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) systems for Welsh. Her major contributions include pioneering methods for collecting and structuring speech data using mobile applications, addressing critical data scarcity challenges that often hinder speech technology for under-resourced languages. Her 2014 paper, "Developing further speech recognition resources for Welsh," has garnered 2 citations and remains a foundational reference for researchers working on LVCSR for Celtic and other minority languages. Prys’s work is notable for its practical impact: she has been instrumental in creating digital tools that support Welsh language learning, transcription, and everyday use, bridging the gap between academic research and real-world language preservation. Her achievements reflect a deep commitment to ensuring that Welsh remains vibrant in the digital age, making her a key figure in computational linguistics and language revitalization.
