Subject: Re: speech materials in Indian languages From: Indranil Dutta <idutta@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 15:40:02 -0500The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) has three corpora (all telephone speech, I think) which have some Hindi and Tamil data. These are fairly expensive but your university might already be a member of the consortium. I am not sure if there are some read speech corpora. 1. CSLU: 22 Languages Corpus (http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2005S26) 2. OGI Multilanguage Corpus (http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC94S17) 3. CALLFRIEND Hindi (http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC96S52) Thanks, Indranil Monita Chatterjee wrote: > Dear List, > > I am interested in obtaining recorded speech materials in various > Indian languages [vowels, consonants, sentences, anything].
