ELRA is happy to announce that 2 new Speech Resources and 1 new AURORA
Project Database and 10 new Evaluation Packages are now

<br>
<b>ELRA-S0242 SALA II US English database</b> <br>
The SALA II US English database comprises 3,065 US English speakers
(1515
males, 1550 females, including some speakers with Hispanic accents )
recorded over the United States mobile telephone network. <br>

<br>
</a><b>ELRA-S0243 SpeechDat Catalan FDB database <br>

Catalan speakers (474 males, 531 females) recorded over the Spanish
fixed
telephone network. <br>

<br>
</a><b>AURORA-CD0005 AURORA-5 <br>
</b>The AURORA-5 database has been mainly developed to investigate the
influence on the performance of automatic speech recognition for a
hands-free speech input in noisy room environments. Furthermore two
test
conditions are included to study the influence of transmitting the
speech
in a mobile communication system.<br>
It contains artificially distorted versions of the recordings from
adult
speakers in the TI-Digits speech database downsampled at a sampling
frequency of 8000 Hz, as well as a set of scripts for running
recognition
experiments on those speech data. The experiments are based on the
usage
of the freely available software package HTK where HTK is not part of
this resource. <br>

<br>
<b>TC-STAR Evaluation Packages<br>
</b>The Evaluation Packages below include the material used for the
TC-STAR 2007 Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Spoken Language
Translation (SLT) third evaluation campaign, as well as the material
used
for the TC-STAR 2006 and 2007 End-to-End task. They include resources,
protocols, scoring tools, results of the official campaign, etc., that
were used or produced during the campaign. The aim of these evaluation
packages is to enable external players to evaluate their own system and
compare their results with those obtained during the campaign itself.
