SHACHI - Language Resource Metadata Database

The database contains Chinese speech data spoken by native Chinese speakers from 4 different regions (Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Taiwan). The genders and ages of the speakers are well balanced. Speakers were asked to read words, phrases, and sentences, and speak freely about their own travel experience.

The database contains simulated English conversations in the travel domain between two Japanese speakers.

The parallel EMG-Acoustic English GlobalPhone language resource contains 63 recordings sessions from 8 speakers articulating speech in three speaking modes, audible, whispered, and silent by reading three times 50 English sentences in GlobalPhone-style, i.e. 16kHz PCM encoded audio recordings of utterance-segmented read speech from the newspaper domain. Speech is recorded in a parallel fashion, i.e. synchronously by a standard close-talking microphone and by surface electrodes capturing the muscle activities of the articulatory muscles in the face (EelectroMmyoGgraphy = EMG).

In addition, baseline results of an EMG-based speech recognition system are presented, which was developed on a subset of the Parallel EMG-Acoustic English GlobalPhone resource.

The corpus contains one side of dialogue between two voice actors. The scripts were made using Kyoto Sightseeing Information Dialog Database.
