Finnish Broadcast Corpus

The Finnish Broadcast Corpus contains speech recordings from the Finnish Broadcasting Company. The material is divided into four categories: radio monologues, radio dialogues, TV monologues and TV dialogues.
In addition to these primary data, the corpus contains annotations giving information on units in speech (fones, words and utterances, which are aligned with the speech and video signals).

Formats: WAV audio format, HQ_Pure audio format (44,1–48 KHz),
HQ_Pure audio format (16 KHz), MPEG2 video.

The corpus is divided in two parts, FBC-1 and FBC-2.

FBC-1 comprises 17 hours from 65 recordings (year 2003):

1) radio monologues (WAV, HQ.Pure and LQ.Pure formats):
- broadcasted telegraph news (24 × 3 minutes, Nov. 2003),
- broadcasted lectures of the week (8 × 14 minutes).

2) radio dialogues (WAV, MP3, HQ.Pure and LQ.Pure):
- unfinished recordings of the Moninaisuusfoorumi-event (5 × 1h).

3) TV monologues (MPEG2, WAV, HQ.Pure, LG.Pure):
- read broadcasted main news (15 × 30 minutes, September - November 2003).

4) TV dialogues:
- broadcasted Morning-TV programs (13 × 12 minutes, 2003).

The summary information on the total size of FBC-2 has not been computed yet.
