ELRA-S0220 NEMLAR Speech Synthesis Corpus

The NEMLAR Speech Synthesis Corpus contains the recordings of 2 native
Egyptian speakers (male and female, 35 years old) recorded in a studio over
2 channel (voice + laryngograph). The data collection and transcription
were performed by RDI (Egypt).

Speech samples are stored in 96 kHz, 24 bit with the least significant byte
first (“lohi” or Intel format) as (signed) integers.

The speaker read 2,032 prompted sentences covering approx. 42,000 words in
three categories: transcribed speech (20%), written text (50%), and
constructed phrases (30%).

The database is provided with orthographic, prosodic and phonetic
transcriptions in SAMPA. All transcriptions were segmented at the
utterance (sentence/command word) level, annotated at the word level and
checked manually. A pronunciation lexicon including 3,589 headwords with
phonetics in SAMPA is also available.

The database is distributed on 3 ISO 9660 DVD-ROM volumes.
