ELRA - Language Resources Catalogue - Update
*****************************************************************

ELRA is happy to announce that 1 new Speech Desktop/Microphone Resource
is now available in its catalogue.

*ELRA-S0347 GlobalPhone Hausa*
The GlobalPhone Hausa corpus contains 7,895 utterances spoken by 33 male
and 69 female speakers in the age range of 16 to 60 years. Native
speakers of Hausa were asked to read prompted sentences of newspaper
articles. The entire collection took place in 5 different locations in
Cameroon. The speech data contains a variety of accents: Maroua, Douala,
Yaoundé, Bafoussam, Ngaoundéré, and Nigeria.

The GlobalPhone corpus developed in collaboration with the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology (KIT) was designed to provide read speech data
for the development and evaluation of large continuous speech
recognition systems in the most widespread languages of the world, and
to provide a uniform, multilingual speech and text database for language
independent and language adaptive speech recognition as well as for
language identification tasks.

The corpus now consists of 20 languages: Arabic (ELRA-S0192), Bulgarian
(ELRA-S0319), Chinese-Mandarin (ELRA-S0193), Chinese-Shanghai
(ELRA-S0194), Croatian (ELRA-S0195), Czech (ELRA-S0196), French
(ELRA-S0197), German (ELRA-S0198), Hausa (ELRA-S0347), Japanese
(ELRA-S0199), Korean (ELRA-S0200), Polish (ELRA-S0320), Portuguese
(Brazilian) (ELRA-S0201), Russian (ELRA-S0202), Spanish (Latin America)
(ELRA-S0203), Swedish (ELRA-S0204), Tamil (ELRA-S0205), Thai
(ELRA-S0321), Turkish (ELRA-S0206), Vietnamese (ELRA-S0322).

Until 31 December 2012, the complete set of 20 languages is available
