Roger voice release for Blizzard 2010

These data are available only to registered participants in the Blizzard Challenge 2010.

Speech data

The 16kHz speech data are identical to those in the ARCTIC subset of the corpus used in the 2008 and 2009 challenges, so if you obtained the data through your participation in 2008 or 2009, you do not need to complete this license form or download the data again. If you want the 48kHz files, simply complete the license again. This data is released under a license for non-commercial use only. To download, first read and accept the license. Once we have received your license, we will email you a password.

Labels

Two sets of labels are provided: This data is released under a license for non-commercial use only. The use of the labels is optional: they are provided only for your convenience, although we expect most participants will choose to use the iFLYTEK hand-corrected labels. In order to obtain these labels, you need to agree to the Unisyn lexicon license terms, since both versions of the labels originate from the pronunciations generated by this lexicon. First, read and accept the Unisyn lexicon license. Once we have received your license, we will email you a password.

Development data, tools, benchmark voices

Several items are available for use by participants during development of their voice. These include the 2009 test sentences synthesised by this year's benchmark voices. Since these items depend on the Unisyn lexicon, they are only available to participants who have agreed to the Unisyn lexicon license, as for the labels above.
