respeak

Utter once more

Respeak means to speak again or repeat what was said, either by oneself or by echoing another person's words.

In language documentation and transcription work, respeaking is a technique where a trained speaker listens to audio and carefully repeats it, often to produce clearer recordings or to aid speech recognition software.
