THCHS-30 : A Free Chinese Speech Corpus

Wang, Dong, Zhang, Xuewei

Understand

Speech data is crucially important for speech recognition research.

There are quite some speech databases that can be purchased at prices that are reasonable for most research institutes.
However, for young people who just start research activities or those who just gain initial interest in this direction, the cost for data is still an annoying barrier.
We support the `free data' movement in speech recognition: research institutes (particularly supported by public funds) publish their data freely so that new researchers can obtain sufficient data to kick of their career.
