John Garofalo, David Graff, and Doug Paul LDC catalog no. LDC93S6A NIST catalog no. 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.
Some spontaneous dictation is included in addition to the read speech.
The dictation portion was collected using journalists who dictated hypothetical news articles. 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 on separate discs from the waveform data.
