Subject: [AUDITORY] Audiovisual speech Corpus suitable for children? From: "Sumner, Christian" <christian.sumner@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 14:04:22 +0000--_000_LO4P265MB421210709F9B5F863E7A9D97C4552LO4P265MB4212GBRP_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Auditory Listers, I am on the search for a corpus of audiovisual speech which is suitable for= children - around 6-13 range. Ideally this would be a closed set. The Childrens' Coordinate Response Meas= ure looks to be the right sort of thing, but I cannot find any available au= diovisual version of this. It needs to be free - this is for a Masters pro= ject. So e.g. Sensimetrics' STEVI is probably not an option. Obviously as a fall back option we can use a corpus intended for adults - b= ut something child friendly would be nice. Thanks in advance.
