The Spanish ToBI labeling scheme, or Sp_ToBI, is a tool for the prosodic annotation of Spanish speech corpora that contains prosodic, phonetic and intonational information.
The original Sp_ToBI was presented by Beckman et al. in 2002:
- Beckman, M.; Díaz-Campos, M.; McGory, J.T. & Morgan, T.A. (2002) Intonation across Spanish, in the Tones and Break Indices framework, Probus, 14, 9-36.
Since then, some work has been done and some modifications to this original labeling scheme have been proposed.
The main references proposing modifications to the original Sp_ToBI system are:
- Face, T.; Prieto, P. (2007) Rising accents in Castilian Spanish: a revision of Sp_ToBI, Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, 6.1, 117-146.
- Estebas-Vilaplana, E.; Prieto, P. (2009) La notación prosódica en español. Una revisión del Sp_ToBI, Estudios de Fonética Experimental XVIII, 263-283.

This website presents a reviewed version of Sp_ToBI including those modifications.
