The corpus contains speech data of 2 Czech native speakers, male and female. The speech is very precisely articulated up to hyper-articulated, and the speech rate is low. The speech data with a highlighted articulation is suitable for teaching foreigners the Czech language, and it can also be used for people with hearing or speech impairment. The recorded sentences can be used either directly, e.g., as a part of educational material, or as source data for building complex educational systems incorporating speech synthesis technology. All recorded sentences were precisely orthographically annotated and phonetically segmented, i.e., split into phones, using modern neural network-based methods.
The corpus contains Czech speech of laryngectomy patients recorded before a surgery causing their voice to be lost in order to preserve the voice which can be later used for personalized text-to-speech system. Individual utterances were selected from the language by a special algorithm to cover as much phonetic and prosodic features as possible.
The corpus contains recordings of male speaker, native in Czech, talking in English. The sentences that were read by the speaker originate in the domain of air traffic control (ATC), specifically the messages used by plane pilots during routine flight. The text in the corpus originates from the transcripts of the real recordings, part of which has been released in LINDAT/CLARIN (http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-097C-0000-0001-CCA1-0), and individual phrases were selected by special algorithm described in Jůzová, M. and Tihelka, D.: Minimum Text Corpus Selection for Limited Domain Speech Synthesis (DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-10816-2_48). The corpus was used to create a limited domain speech synthesis system capable of simulating a pilot communication with an ATC officer.
