<p>During 1991, the DARPA Spoken Language Program initiated efforts to build a new corpus to support research on large-vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (CSR) systems.</p><br>
<p>The first two CSR Corpora consist primarily of read speech with texts drawn from a machine-readable corpus of Wall Street Journal news text and are thus often known as WSJ0 and WSJ1. (Later sections of the CSR set of corpora, however, will consist of read texts from other sources of North American business news and eventually from other news domains).</p><br>
<p>The texts to be read were selected to fall within either a 5,000-word or a 20,000-word subset of the WSJ text corpus. (See the documentation for details). Some spontaneous dictation is included in addition to the read speech. The dictation portion was collected using journalists who dictated hypothetical news articles.</p><br>
<p>Two microphones are used throughout: a close-talking Sennheiser HMD414 and a secondary microphone, which may vary. The corpora are thus offered in three configurations: the speech from the Sennheiser, the speech from the other microphone and the speech from both; all three sets include all transcriptions, tests, documentation, etc.</p><br>
<p>In general, transcriptions of the speech, test data from ARPA evaluations, scores achieved by various speech recognition systems and software used in scoring are included in seperate folders from the waveform data.</p><br>
<h3>Updates</h3><br>
<p>This corpus has been updated to be contained as a single web download. The directory structure of the original CDs has been maintained.</p></br>

title: ACL/DCI

description: <p>ACL Data Collection Initiative contains text from the Wall Street Journal, the Collins English Dictionary, scientific abstracts provided by the U.S. Department of Energy and a variety of grammatically tagged and parsed materials from the Treebank project at the University of Pennsylvania. The total amount of uncompressed text is 620 Mbytes.</p><br>
<p>The many formats of the original texts have been mapped into a markup language consistent with the SGML standard (ISO 8879).</p><br>
<p>The format of the material from the Wall Street Journal uses a labelled bracketing, expressed in the style of SGML, although no formal SGML DTD is provided. The tag set has been modified by turning the Dow Jones header categories into tags and by creating ad hoc tags such as "". The original datelines are presented as separate text units; the text is divided and tagged into paragraphs and sentences with each sentence presented on a single line. Nothing has been done to modify the typographical methods used to subdivide headlines and stories into sections, nor are any of the text features within sentences (quotes, ellipsis, etc.) normalized.</p><br>
<p>The Collins English Dictionary is present in two forms. One form was approximately parsed into fielded records as an exercise in learning a language called "FIT", by a student working under the direction of Lloyd Nakatani at ATT Bell Laboratories during the summer of 1990. The original digital image of the typographer's tape that the database version was prepared from had serious flaws that were not detected and corrected until later; the corrected version, a clean typographer's tape, is presented in a separate directory. A properly-analyzed database version will be provided in the future. The documentation includes notes developed during the new attempt to analyze the tape from scratch.</p><br>
<p>The Department of Energy abstracts reside in files that are approximately one megabyte each. The original 950 separators have been replaced with newlines and space padding between articles was removed. An acronym dictionary that was extracted from the database as an indication of the material's topic areas has been included in a separate directory.</p><br>
<p>Provisional material from the Penn Treebank project is divided into two subdirectories on this disk. The subdirectory "postext" contains text with part-of-speech annotations; "parstext" contains text with syntactic bracketing.</p></br>

<h3>Data</h3><br>
<p>The complete WSJ1 corpus contains approximately 78,000 training utterances (73 hours of speech), 4,000 of which are the result of spontaneous dictation by journalists with varying degrees of experience in dictation. The corpus contains approximately 8,200 conventional development test utterances (eight hours of speech), 6,800 of which are from spontaneous dictation. As with the pilot corpus, the entire corpus was collected using two microphones, so the amount of speech in the entire corpus is about 162 hours.</p><br>
<p>In early 1993, a Hub and Spoke test paradigm was designed, calling for eleven test sets, each a specific variation of the basic or hub condition. The eleven Hub and Spoke Development and Evaluation Test sets each contain approximately 7,500 waveforms (eleven hours of speech).</p><br>
<p>WSJ1 waveforms have been compressed by about 2:1 using the SPHERE-embedded Shorten compression algorithm developed at Cambridge University.</p><br>

<h3>Introduction</h3><br>
<p>The Air Traffic Control Corpus (ATC0) is comprised of recorded speech for use in supporting research and development activities in the area of robust speech recognition in domains similar to air traffic control (several speakers, noisy channels, relatively small vocabulary, constrained languaged, etc.) The audio data is composed of voice communication traffic between various controllers and pilots.</p><br>
<h3>Data</h3><br>
<p>The audio files are 8 KHz, 16-bit linear sampled data, representing continuous monitoring, without squelch or silence elimination, of a single FAA frequency for one to two hours. There are also files which indicate the amplitude of the received AM carrier signal at 10 msec. intervals.</p><br>
<p>Full transcripts, including the start and end times of each transmission, are provided for each audio file. Each flight is identified by its flight number.</p><br>
<p>ATC0 consists of three subcorpora, one for each airport in which the transmissions were collected -- Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Logan International (BOS) and Washington National (DCA). The complete set contains approximately 70 hours of controller and pilot transmissions collected via antennas and radio receivers which were located in the vicinity of the respective airports.</p><br>
<p>Detailed information regarding the collection process and the equipment used can be found on in the files, "atc.doc" in the "doc" directories.</p><br>
<p>The ATC0 Corpus was collected by Texas Instruments under contract to DARPA. It was produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for distribution by the Linguistic Data Consortium.</p><br>
<h3>Samples</h3><br>

title: SPIDRE

description: <p>This subset of the SWITCHBOARD collection (see above), selected for speaker ID research and with special attention to telephone instrument variation. It contains training and testing data for experiments in closed or open set recognition or verification. Combining the two sides of the conversations also permits speaker change detection, or speaker monitoring, experiments.</p><br>
<p>There are 45 "target" speakers; four conversations from each target are included, of which two are from the same handset. There are also 100 calls in which no target appears. Since all conversations are two-sided, this results in 180 target sides and 180 + 200 = 380 nontarget sides.</p><br>
<p>Except for truncations of a few longer calls at five minutes, the call themselves are as described under SWITCHBOARD.</p></br>

title: YOHO Speaker Verification

description: The YOHO database contains a large scale, high-quality speech corpus to support text-dependent speaker authentication research, such as is used in secure access technology. The data was collected in 1989 by ITT under a US Government contract, but has not been available for public use before. Note that certain changes have been made to the corpus, mainly to insure the privacy of the speakers and some data has been withheld by the government for future use in testing. <p> YOHO contains: </p><ul> <li> Combination lock phrases (e.g. 36-24-36) </li> <li> Collected over three-month period in a real-world office environment </li> <li> Four enrollment sessions per subject with 24 phrases per session </li> <li> Ten test sessions per subject with four phrases per session </li> <li> 8kHz sampling with 3.8 kHz analog bandwidth </li> <li> 1.5 gigabytes of data </li> </ul> The number of trials is thus sufficient to permit evaluation testing at high confidence levels. In each session, a speaker was prompted with a series of phrases to be read aloud each phrase was a sequence of three two-digit numbers (e.g. 35 - 72 - 41, pronounced thirty-five seventy-two forty-one). The first four sessions for a given speaker were enrollment sessions of 24 phrases and all additional sessions were verification trials of four phrases each. In all there are 552 enrollment sessions and 1,380 trial sessions, with a nominal time interval of three days between sessions.<h3>Updates</h3> <p> An <a href="ftp://ftp.ldc.upenn.edu/pub/ldc/public_data/YOHO_update.tar" rel="nofollow">update</a> is available that corrects a bug in the original release.</p> </br>

title: OGI Multilanguage Corpus

description: The corpus consists of responses to prompts spoken over commercial telephone lines by speakers of English, Farsi (Persian), French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Tamil and Vietnamese. It contains a total of 1,927 calls, an average of 175 calls per language.<p> Speech was collected using an automated system that answered the telephone, played digitized prompts in the appropriate language to request the speech samples and digitized the callers' responses for a designated period of time.</p><p> Log files are included that provide a set of automatic measurements made on each utterance. In addition, some utterances were automatically segmented into broad phonetic catagories. The speech data are compressed, with NIST SPHERE headers. </p></br>

title: OGI Spelled and Spoken Word

description: The OGI Spelled and Spoken Telephone Corpus consists of speech recordings from over 3,650 telephone calls, each made by a different speaker to an automated prompting/recording system installed at the Oregon Graduate Institute. Speakers were asked to say their name, where they were calling from and where they grew up; they were asked to answer a couple of yes/no questions and to spell their first and last names; many were also asked to repeat a few specific words and to recite the letters of the alphabet.<p> Each response to a prompt is stored as a separate waveform file and the files are organized according to prompt (response type); all responses from a given call have a unique caller-index number as part of the file named, so that responses can easily be sorted by speaker. Waveform data are stored in compressed form, using the NIST SPHERE 2.0 software package, which is available separately at no charge to users. SPHERE 2.0 provides the decompression software needed to extract the waveform data, as well as tools for accessing and modifying file headers.</p><p> Time-aligned phonetic transcriptions are provided for a subset of responses and a complete log of each (giving speaker sex, quality judgments and orthographic transcriptions of all responses) is included in a form suitable for use as a relational data base.</p></br>
