This document describes the results of an activity that was conducted at ITC-Irst for the design of a phonetically rich material to use in SpeechDatCar and VODIS-2 consortia. The resulting material consists of: 1800 phonetically rich sentences and 2400 phonetically rich words. The design was accomplished following specifications provided by the Deliverable SD1.12 of the SpeechDatCar project. When possible, it was exploited the experience acquired in the SpeechDat2 project as well as the corresponding material that was made available by ELRA. As described in the following, the work was conducted using some automatic tools available at ITC-Irst laboratories. Due to some limitations of these tools (e.g. phonetic transcription) in some cases, a manual check of the processed material was necessary to ensure a good quality of the resulting material. This document is organized as follows: Section 2 reminds some specifications extracted from the Deliverable SD1.12 above mentioned; Section 3 reports on some general issues on phonetics of the Italian language; Section 4 reports on some characteristics of the material designed by CSELT in SpeechDat2 project and provided to us by ELRA; Section 5 describes the activity conducted to design the set of phonetically rich sentences; Section 6 describes the design in the case of the set of phonetically rich words. Finally, Section 7 resumes the various parts of the material delivered to ELRA

Abstract

This document describes the results of an activity that was conducted at ITC-Irst for the design of a phonetically rich material to use in SpeechDatCar and VODIS-2 consortia. The resulting material consists of: 1800 phonetically rich sentences and 2400 phonetically rich words. The design was accomplished following specifications provided by the Deliverable SD1.12 of the SpeechDatCar project. When possible, it was exploited the experience acquired in the SpeechDat2 project as well as the corresponding material that was made available by ELRA. As described in the following, the work was conducted using some automatic tools available at ITC-Irst laboratories. Due to some limitations of these tools (e.g. phonetic transcription) in some cases, a manual check of the processed material was necessary to ensure a good quality of the resulting material. This document is organized as follows: Section 2 reminds some specifications extracted from the Deliverable SD1.12 above mentioned; Section 3 reports on some general issues on phonetics of the Italian language; Section 4 reports on some characteristics of the material designed by CSELT in SpeechDat2 project and provided to us by ELRA; Section 5 describes the activity conducted to design the set of phonetically rich sentences; Section 6 describes the design in the case of the set of phonetically rich words. Finally, Section 7 resumes the various parts of the material delivered to ELRA
