Subject: speech corpus From: robert bolia <rbolia(at)HOTMAIL.COM> Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 12:04:17 PDTDear List, My colleagues (Todd Nelson, Mark Ericson, and Brian Simpson) and I have collected an extensive speech corpus for use in investigating the effects of the spatial separation of multiple simultaneous talkers on speech intelligibility (one aspect of the cocktail-party effect). As the collection of these phrases (described in detail in a letter in the February issue of JASA) was a rather tedious and time-consuming process, and in the hope that it may prove more broadly useful, we have decided to make this corpus freely available to other researchers pursuing similar investigations. Any one interested may receive a free copy of the corpus by sending a blank recordable compact disk with a self-addressed postage-paid return envelope to me at the following address: Robert S. Bolia Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/HECP) 2255 H Street Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, 45433-7022 USA Cheers, Bob Bolia. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
