English across Taiwan Corpus

This database is composed of various types of recordings. 600 recording sheets containing 80 sentences each were prepared with English long sentences, English short sentences, English words and mixed Chinese-English sentences. They were read by English Department people and non-English Department people, male and female, and recorded using hand-held microphone and wire/wireless telephone (PSTN/GSM).

The microphone corpus was recorded as sound files with 16 kHz sample rate and 16 bit sample resolution.

The telephone corpus was recorded by DIALOGIC card as sound file with Mu-law decoding, 8 kHz sample rate and 8 bit sample resolution. It was then converted to PCM format with 8KHz sample rate and 16 bit resolution.

The data were collected between May 2004 and January 2005. The corpus was then checked and annotated.

This database has for example been used to develop a Mandarin and English mixed-language speech recognition system.
