7) ELRA-S0058 RVG1 (Regional Variants of German 1, Part 1)
Below a description of each resource:
1) ELRA-S0052 FIXED0IT - Italian Fixed Network Speech (SpeechDat(M)) Corpus
DB1 Phonetically rich sentences & application oriented utterances
The Italian Fixed Network Speech Corpus version 1.0 was recorded within the
scope of the SpeechDat(M) project (LRE-63314), funded by the European
Commission. Recording was done by using a primary rate ISDN interface,
yielding
8 kHz, 8 bits per sample, A-law coded signal. The data files are formatted
according to the SAM European project. The speech data are compressed with=
=3D
the
GNU gzip program. All software needed to use the corpus is provided on the
CDs.
The corpus contains the speech of about 1000 speakers (about 500 male and=
=3D
500
female) and was designed to support the creation of voice-driven=3D
teleservices.
The callers spoke at least 39 items, comprising:
=3DB7 isolated and connected digits,
=3DB7 natural numbers,
=3DB7 money amounts,
=3DB7 spelled words,
=3DB7 time and date phrases,
=3DB7 yes/no questions,
=3DB7 city names,
=3DB7 common application words,
=3DB7 application words in phrases,
=3DB7 phonetically rich sentences.
Most items are read, some are spontaneously spoken.
The recordings come with extensive and standardised documentation. All=3D
speech
is carefully transcribed at the orthographic level; in addition, a number o=
f
clearly audible non-speech events are included in the transcription.=3D
Moreover,
age and regional background of the speakers are provided. A pronunciation
dictionary is added, containing all words that occur in the corpus, with a
corresponding SAMPA broad-class phonemic transcription.
Validation and premastering of the CD-ROMs were performed by the Speech
Processing Expertise Centre (SPEX), Leidschendam, The Netherlands.

=3DB7 isolated digits,
=3DB7 yes/no,
=3DB7 common application words.
The data is provided with orthographic transliteration for all 6,000
utterances
including 4 categories of non-speech acoustic events. A phonetic lexicon=3D
with
canonical transcription in SAMPA is also included.
The speech files are stored as sequences of 8 bits 8 kHz A-law samples. Dat=
