ELRA-S0081 Norwegian SpeechDat(II) FDB-1000
_______________________________________
The Norwegian SpeechDat(II) FDB-1000 comprises 1016
Norwegian speakers (517 males, 499 females) recorded over
the Norwegian fixed telephone network. The SpeechDat database
has been collected and annotated by Telenor Research and
Development. The FDB-1000 database is partitioned into 4 CDs.
The speech databases made within the SpeechDat(II) project were
validated by SPEX, the Netherlands, to assess their compliance
with the SpeechDat format and content specifications.
Speech samples are stored as sequences of 8-bit 8 kHz A-law.
Each prompted utterance is stored in a separate file. Each signal
file is accompanied by an ASCII SAM label file which contains the
relevant descriptive information. A pronunciation lexicon with a
phonemic transcription in SAMPA is also included.

ELRA-S0082 Siemens Synthesis Corpus - SI1000P
_______________________________________
The SI1000P recordings were done to provide material for high
quality concatenate speech synthesis. It contains 1000 newspaper
sentences read by two German professional broadcasting announcers
in studio quality together with the laryngographic signal and the glottal
pulse stream. Parts of the corpus were labelled and segmented
phonemically (SAM-PA) and prosodically (borders + accents).
