Introduction This corpus represents the secpnd half of a collection of conversational telephone speech (CTS) that was created at the LDC during 2003. It contains 5,849 audio files, each one containing a full conversation of up to ten minutes. Additional information regarding the speakers involved and types of telephones used can be found in the companion text corpus of transcripts (Fisher English Training Text Data, Part 2 -- LDC2005T19). Data The first half of the collection (Fisher English Training Speech Data, Part 1) was released by the LDC in 2004 (LDC2004S13 for speech data, LDC2004T19 for transcripts). Taken as a whole, the two parts comprise 11,699 recorded telephone conversations. The individual audio files are presented in NIST SPHERE format, and contain two-channel mu-law sample data; "shorten" compression has been applied to all files. Data collection and transcription were sponsored by DARPA and the U.S. Department of Defense, as part of the EARS project for research and development in automatic speech recognition.
