CSTR US KED Timit This contains 453 utterances spoken by a US male speaker. This database was collected at University of Edinburgh's Centre for Speech Technology Research but is distributed here as it serves as good example of a general database for simple prosody modelling and unit selection. The speaker is the same speaker as in the Festival ked_diphone voice. This database is free for any use (see licence for details). The database was hand labelled and carefully corrected. It includes EGG recordings. Festival utterance structures are also included.
