Re: Phonetic balance

Michał ,

As far as I know, 

TIMIT data is a phoneme balanced speech data (at least this is one of its goal) and can be acquired  via LDC with following info:

But to make your own data balanced, may be you can decode phoneme first, then artificially remove some some phone classes to ensure a balanced speech dataset.

One toolkit for for phoneme decoding is:

Good luck.

Dear colleagues,

 

I search for some software which would help me to make my speech material phonematically balanced. Is anybody aware of any solutions or libraries (e.g. Matlab) which could be used for that?
