Subject: [AUDITORY] A new speech corpus From: "Monson, Brian" <monson@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2025 21:44:22 +0000--Apple-Mail=_EC9D5D98-2167-4074-9771-31E652376390 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Apple-Mail=_70F5ED43-70C7-4C38-89BE-FD9C198EB1D0" --Apple-Mail=_70F5ED43-70C7-4C38-89BE-FD9C198EB1D0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear Colleagues, We want to make you aware of a new publicly available, anechoic, = multidirectional, high-fidelity speech corpus that we have made for use = in speech perception experiments. The corpus consists of multiple speech = materials, including digits, unscripted narratives, and the = Bamford-Kowal-Bench (BKB) sentences lists, uttered by 30 speakers of = American English. One novelty of the corpus is the multidirectional = aspect, which enables researchers to use speech signals recorded from = different angles around a talker=E2=80=99s head to produce speech = stimuli (e.g., multi-talker babble) that incorporate differing head = orientations of talkers in a scene. The corpus was specifically designed = to be useful for speech perception experiments, but can also be useful = for studies of speech acoustics (e.g. speech directivity). We hope it = will be useful to the community. Details of the corpus have recently been published: Miller et al (2025). An anechoic, high-fidelity, multidirectional speech = corpus.
