SpeechDat-Car Fixed Platform
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
SpeechDat-Car aims to develop a set of speech databases to support training and testing of multilingual speech recognition applications in the car environment. Two types of recordings compose the database. The first type consist of wideband audio signals recorded directly in the car while the second type is composed by GSM signals transmitted from the car and recorded simultaneously in a far-end. Therefore, two recording platforms were used, a ‘mobile’ recording platform installed inside the car and a ‘fixed’ recording platform located at the far-end fixed side of the GSM communications system. This paper describes the fixed platform software developed by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (ADA-K). This software is able to work with standard inexpensive PC cards for ISDN lines.
