SMTC - A Swedish Map Task Corpus
Mattias Heldner, Jens Edlund · 2006
A small database of high quality recordings of 4 speakers of Central Standard Swedish is being rtuxde available to the speech research community under the heading Swedish Map Task Corpus (SMTC). The speech is unscripted and consists mostly of conversations elicited through map tasks. In total, the database contains approximately 50 minutes of word-labelled conversations, comprising nearly 8000 words. The material was recorded at the Stockholm University Phonetics Lab. This paper describes the recording method, the data elicitation procedures and the speakers recruited for the recordings. The data will be made available on line to researchers who put in a request with the author (cf. section 7 below).
