Description

Each sentence was recorded in three channels: close microphone, large membrane microphone and laryngographic signal. All recordings are segmented and labelled into phonemic units as well as annotated prosodically.
The same 4 professional speakers also spoke the BITS Logatom corpus (BITS-LG) enabling the user to combine diphone and unit selection techniques based on the same speakers.
