Full set of sentence recordings for downloading

Directory structure of the speech files

There are two version of the EUSTACE downloadable speech corpus, one containing speech files in .wav (RIFF) format and one containing speech files in .sd (ESPS) format. For each version, the top directory contains a README file, with outline information abut the corpus and a directory, speech.wav or speech.esps, which itself contains a directory for each subject, subjectf1 to subjectm3. Within each subject directory are two directories right-headed and left-headed, containing the speech files, named according to the conventions outlined in the description of the organisation of recorded sentences into sound files (see PROCEDURE page, where a full list of the available files is also available).

• SPEECH DIRECTORIES: Diagram illustrating the directory structure of downloadable speech files.

The downloadable speech files are available as:

• a single gzipped tar file, containing speech files in .sd (ESPS) format.
• a single zip file, containing speech files in .wav (RIFF) format.
• a set of six gzipped tar files, each containing the speech files in .sd (ESPS) format for one of the six speakers.
• a set of six zip files, each containing the speech files in .wav (RIFF) format for one of the six speakers.

The speech files should be downloaded with the documentation and the label files, as outlined below.

Directory structure of the label files and documentation

There are two sets of label files, one for the test syllables and one for the additional syllables (see PROCEDURE page). Each label file contains a ESPS xlabel header, followed by a sequence of lines with the label timings on the left and the label itself on the right.

• LABEL EXAMPLE: Example label file in ESPS format.

The label files are downloaded with the EUSTACE documentation, as a single gzipped tar file or as a single zip file. The top directory contains a README file and two directories: docs and labels.

• The docs directory contains the EUSTACE documentation, which is a copy of the EUSTACE web pages.
• The labels directory contains two directories, testsyl, containing label files for the test syllables in each keyword, and othersyl, containing label files for the other syllables in each keyword. The structure of each of these directories is the same as for the speech directory: directories subjectf1 to subjectm3, each containing right-headed and left-headed directories, which contain the label files, named according to the same conventions as the speech files (see PROCEDURE page).
