IntroductionThe Multilanguage Telephone Speech corpus consists of telephone speech from 11 languages: English, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Tamil, Vietnamese. The corpus contains fixed vocabulary utterances (eg. days of the week) as well as fluent continuous speech. The current release includes recorded utterances from about 2,052 speakers, for a total of about 38.5 hours of speech. Time-aligned phonetic transcriptions for 619 of the utterances are also included. DataEach subject called the CSLU data collection system by dialing a toll-free number. An analog telephone line was connected to a Gradient Technologies box. Data from incoming calls were recorded by the Gradient box. The sampling rate was 8 khz and the files were stored in 16-bit linear format on a UNIX file system. Each utterance was recorded as a separate file.
SamplesFor an example of the data in this corpus, please listen to these audio samples in Tamil and English. Content CopyrightPortions © 1992, 2000, 2002 Center for Spoken Language Understanding, Oregon Health & Science University, © 2006 Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania | |
