       NEW RELEASE from the Linguistic Data Consortium
            1997 Spanish Broadcast News (HUB-4NE)

    This corpus contains a portion of the acoustic data
designated as the training set for the 1997 DARPA HUB-4
Spanish Benchmark. It contains speech and transcripts of
30 hours of broadcast news from the following sources:

    VOA
    Univision
    Televisa

All acoustic files are in NIST SPHERE format, without
compression. The sample data are 16-bit linear PCM, 16-KHz
sample frequency, single channel. Most files contain 30
minutes of recorded material, and some contain 60 or 120
minutes (approximately); the sampling format requires
roughly 2 megabytes (MB) per minute of recording, so the
file sizes are typically around 60 MB, with some files
ranging up to 120 or 240 MB.

    The transcripts are in SGML format, using the same
markup conventions that have been applied to the other 1997
Broadcast News speech corpora (in English and Mandarin),
and are transmitted by ftp, not on the cdroms with speech
data.

    Because of restrictions imposed by the copyright
holders, this corpus is available to 1998 LDC members only.
