Buckeye Corpus

Software

At least three speech analysis tools can be used with the corpus to view the speech files and their corresponding time-aligned label files: Xwaves, Wavesurfer, and Praat. You will want the following configuration file (BuckeyeCorpus.conf) if you use Wavesurfer. Download it into the Wavesurfer configuration directory (consult Wavesurfer help if you do not know where it is located on your computer), and then select it when prompted for a configuration when opening a speech file. If the label files are in the same directory, they will be loaded automatically. BuckeyeCorpus.conf also contains the entire set of labels.

We hope to release software for searching the corpus (i.e., by matching items in the label tiers) in June 2009.
