interesting for anyone testing out speex :) kfish. ----- Forwarded message from Alan Clark <alan.d.clark@telchemy.com> ----- From: Alan Clark <alan.d.clark@telchemy.com> To: avt@ietf.org Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 12:57:01 -0400 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.6604 (9.0.2911.0) Subject: [AVT] Open Speech Repository We've started to build a database of speech samples in multiple languages using (roughly) phonetically balanced source material. The site currently contains around 70 audio files in English (American and British), French, Mandarin and Hindi, and we are in the process of adding the source text for each language to the site (text editors allowing!!!). For English we've used Harvard Sentences, France Telecom provided some French test sentences and we've constructed some new Hindi and Chinese sentences. The goal of the site (www.voiptroubleshooter.com/open_speech/) is to provide freely usable, non-copyrighted material that can be used for VoIP testing and research, published on web sites etc., as much of the previously available speech material has some restriction on use. We would welcome comments, offers to provide new material etc. Regards Alan Clark Telchemy _______________________________________________ Audio/Video Transport Working Group avt@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/avt ----- End forwarded message -----
