AVOZES

The Audio-Video Australian English Speech Data Corpus

Contents Module 6 - Application-driven sequences - Continuous speech

This second module with application-driven sequences contains examples of continuous speech from each speaker. The three sequences are:

"Joe took father's green shoe bench out." (This sentence appeared first in the corpora M2VTS and XM2VTSDB .)
"Yesterday morning on my tour, I heard wolves here."
"Thin hair of azure colour is pointless."

Together with the first sentence, the second and third sentences were designed in such a way that they contain almost all phonemes and visemes of AuE (/æ/ is the only phoneme missing). One of the ultimate goals in automatic speech recognition is the task of continuous speech recognition in all conditions. The sequences in this module offer an initial way of applying and testing any results from an analysis of the sequences in module 4 to such a task.
