在韵律标记语料库中的转录者间协议测试已被用作可靠性的客观性能指标。合理的高协议之间的标签已被发现，但系统的分歧存在，这表明，一些语调模式是更难的抄写员标签，而其他人更容易。这可能是由于转录器区分音高事件的音调标签的方式不同。我们开发了一种方法来映射的语调转录系统中的类别的主观相似性空间。从这个地图，我们得出了一个概念相似性指数表示的音调类别之间的距离，这个主观相似性指数被用来预测intertranscriber可靠性。研究发现，概念上相似的音调导致较高的转录分歧，而概念上不同的音调导致较低的分歧。
Tests of intertranscriber agreement in prosodically-labeled corpora have been used as an objective performance measure of reliability. Reasonably high agreements among labelers have been found, but systematic disagreements exist, indicating that some intonational patterns are more difficult for transcribers to label while others are easier. This may be due to differences in the way transcribers distinguish between tonal labels for pitch events. We developed a method to map the subjective similarity space for the categories in an intonational transcription system. From this map, we derived a conceptual similarity index indicating the distance between tone categories This subjective similarity index is used to predict the intertranscriber reliability. It is found that tones which are conceptually similar result in higher transcriptional disagreements while tones which are conceptually dissimilar result in lower disagreement.
