This UK English desktop speech recognition database was collected by SpeechOcean in England. This database is one of the
Speech Data ----Desktop Project (SDD) which contains the database collections for 30 languages presently.
It contains the voices of 50 different native speakers who were balanced distributed by age (mainly 16 – 30, 31 – 45, 46 – 60), gender (28 males, 22 females) and regional accents. The script was specially designed to provide material for both training and testing of many classes of speech recognition applications. Each speaker recorded 500 utterances in a quiet office environment through two professional microphones. Each utterance is stored as 48K 16Bit uncompressed PCM format and 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.
