Introduction
The CALLHOME Egyptian Arabic Speech Supplement was produced by
Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), catalog
number LDC2002S37 and ISBN 1-58563-243-0.
This publication contains 20 CALLHOME Egyptian Arabic telephone
conversations. The corresponding transcripts are published as CALLHOME
Egyptian Arabic Transcripts Supplement, LDC catalog number LDC2002T38.
These conversations had originally been held in reserve for future NIST
HUB5 Non-English evaluations, but are being "re-tasked" to provide
additional material for general use.
