Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this announcement.

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

ELRA-S0242 SALA II US English database
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.
For more information, see:
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1013

ELRA-S0243 SpeechDat Catalan FDB database
The SpeechDat Catalan FDB database contains the recordings of 1,005 Catalan
speakers (474 males, 531 females) recorded over the Spanish fixed telephone
network.
For more information, see:
http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?products_id=1014

AURORA-CD0005 AURORA-5
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.
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.

http://catalog.elra.info/product_info.php?cPath=37_40&products_id=1015

TC-STAR Evaluation Packages
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.
