Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] American English speech database for intelligibility tests From: Frederick Gallun <fgallun@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 06:23:53 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--0000000000009765f4059f531f10 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear Delphine, Many of the speech materials that are in the public domain can be found on the VA CDs developed by Richard Wilson and now available from the DOD Hearing Center of Excellence. Description is here: https://www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/93/30/3/pdf/wilson.pdf Link for ordering the two CDs is here. https://hearing.health.mil/Resources/Audio-and-Print-Materials/Audio-CDs I also highly recommend the free corpus of IEEE sentence recordings in Midwest and Pacific Northwest dialect available from the UW Phonetics lab. The quality of the recordings is very high, supporting phonetics work as well as audiology (unlike the majority of other available IEEE recordings). https://depts.washington.edu/phonlab/projects/uwnu.php There are other materials that are available for purchase from Audiotec https://auditec.com/category/speech-in-noise/ The QuickSIN can be purchased from Etymotic https://www.etymotic.com/auditory-research/speech-in-noise-tests/quicksin.html Erick On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 2:50 AM Delfin Ed <delphine.devallez@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear all, > > I am looking for a speech database in American English for standardized > intelligibility tests (sentences for HINT, SPIN, CST, monosyllables,...). > Do you know how I can get such recordings? > Thanks in advance! > > Delphine Devallez > > Audio Systems Engineer > BOSE > -- --------------------------------------------- Frederick (Erick) Gallun, PhD Associate Professor, Oregon Hearing Research Center, Oregon Health & Science University Chair, Mentoring Core, VA RR&D National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research --0000000000009765f4059f531f10 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div><div dir=3D"auto">Dear Delphine,</div></div><div dir=3D"auto"><br></di= v><div dir=3D"auto">Many of the speech materials that are in the public dom= ain can be found on the VA CDs developed by Richard Wilson and now availabl= e from the DOD Hearing Center of Excellence.=C2=A0</div><div dir=3D"auto"><= br></div><div dir=3D"auto">Description is here:</div><div dir=3D"auto"><div= ><a href=3D"https://www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/93/30/3/pdf/wilson.pdf">= https://www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/93/30/3/pdf/wilson.pdf</a></div><div= dir=3D"auto"><br></div>Link for ordering the two CDs is here.<br><div dir= =3D"auto"><a href=3D"https://hearing.health.mil/Resources/Audio-and-Print-M= aterials/Audio-CDs">https://hearing.health.mil/Resources/Audio-and-Print-Ma= terials/Audio-CDs</a></div><div dir=3D"auto"><br></div><div dir=3D"auto">I = also highly recommend the free corpus of IEEE sentence recordings in Midwes= t and Pacific Northwest dialect available from the UW Phonetics lab.
