New released corpora: ID: King-ASR-140 This is a 4-channel Canada English desktop speech database, which is collected over 4 different microphones simultaneously. This database is owned by Beijing Haitian Ruisheng Science Technology Ltd (SpeechOcean, www.speechocean.com). The prompts were the phonetically rich sentences. The raw sentences are all selected from the News and Twitter domain. We did remove a number of sentences that includes offensive or negative words or phrase. Finally, we had 30000 unique sentences in our list of sentences, that we generated the prompt sheets from with no more than 3 times for each. All audio files were manually transcribed and annotated by our native transcribing team based on the Transcribing conventions; a strict evaluation work was made on all the transcribing files by our QA Team. A professional transcription tool was developed by SpeechOcean to support this transcription work and some new short-cut functions were embedded into the tool such as the button for the non-speech acoustic events. This database is performed in quiet office environment. The corpus contains the recordings of 322,936 utterances of English speech data which were from 202 speakers. The pure recording time is about 380hours (4-channel), including the leading silence (about 500 ms) and the trailing silence (about 500 ms). The total size of this database is 121 GB. A pronunciation lexicon with a phonemic transcription in SAMPA was carefully made by covering all the words in the transcription files.
