BDFALA

This is a Portuguese database of read speech ; 10 speakers were recorded in a sound-proof room.

6 types of material:
- 4,600 isolated words
- 350 sentences for prosodic studies
- 18 phonetically-complete paragraphs
- 60 read paragraphs extracted from television debates
- 3,000 logatomes
- 600 phonetically rich sentences

5 male and 5 female speakers were recorded. A subset of the corpus is also read by two young speakers (1 male, one female, 12-14 years old).

The orthographic transcription is provided. The phonemic level labels are in SAMPA.
A pronunciation lexicon with citation phonemic transcriptions for each word is also included. It was automatically produced and hand-corrected.

This database was developed within a project aiming at the enlargement of the EUROM.1 corpus, to improve speech synthesis systems in Portuguese.
