The article presents five open-source tools for processing speech recordings, developed to support research on spoken Slovene. The tools cover different aspects of working with spoken language data and complement each other. The first tool enables forced alignment of speech with text using the Montreal Forced Aligner software library. The second tool is intended for anonymiza-tion of audio recordings, where the system replaces automatically detected or manually marked segments containing personal data with audio masks. The third tool is used for validation of speech recordings and, through a graphi-cal interface, allows verification of the correspondence between the recording and its transcription. The fourth tool is an acoustic normalizer, which integrates various methods for removing noise and improving the quality of recordings. The fifth tool is a grapheme-to-phoneme converter that automatically con-verts text from standard graphemic notation into a phonetic transcription.
