This UK English desktop speech recognition database was collected by Speechocean’s project team in UK. This database is one of our databases of
Speech Data ----Desktop Project (SDD) which contains the database collections in 30 languages presently.
It contains the voices of 200 different native speakers who were balanced distributed in Age(mainly 16 – 30,31 – 45,46 – 60), Gender (106 males, 94 females)and regional accents (for the details, please see the technical document).The script was specially designed to provide material for both training and testing of many classes of speech recognizers, each speaker will be recorded in a quiet office environment and 300 phonetically rich sentences which was randomly selected from a pool of sentences specially designed.
The speech data are stored as sequences of 48.1 kHz, 16 bit and uncompressed. A pronunciation lexicon with a phonemic transcription in SAMPA is also included. The pure recording hour will be 189.1 hours.
