Subject: [AUDITORY] Auditory database with syllable-level transcriptions From: "Weerts, Lotte" <lotte.weerts15@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 16:03:21 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_VI1PR0601MB252639E62ED9558656E338A1AFFE0VI1PR0601MB2526_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all, For my PhD project, I am looking for an auditory database that contains spe= ech (preferably English) that is aligned with its transcription on the syll= able or word level. Ideally, the database contains sentences, but words or = single syllables could also work. For example, a recording of the sentence = 'how are you?' would have a transcription that indicates the use of 'how', = 'are' and 'you' at particular times in the recording. Does anyone know of such a (preferably freely available) database? And if n= ot, what tools would you recommend split data that is annotated on sentence= -level (semi-)automatically?
