The project develops equipment, systems and procedures for cross-institutional digital preservation and sharing of Australian researchers' field recordings of endangered languages and musics of the Asia-Pacific area. Despite diversity of content, common needs exist for future management of our primary research data, not only in migration from analogue to digital recording formats but also in developing research applications of emerging technologies for digital media indexing, transcription and analysis, as well as content management and remote access protocols. The results will lay the groundwork for a future national facility for regional research recordings and pioneer methodologies for non-bibliographic research information infrastructure.Read moreRead less

The Big Australian Speech Corpus: An audio-visual speech corpus of Australian English. Contemporary speech science and technology are driven by the availability of large speech corpora. While audio databases exist for languages spoken in America, Europe and Japan, there is currently no large auditory-visual database of spoken language, and certainly not one for Australian English.

Contemporary speech science and technology are driven by the availability of large speech corpora. While audio databases exist for languages spoken in America, Europe and Japan, there is currently no large auditory-visual database of spoken language, and certainly not one for Australian English. Here we will establish the Big Australian Speech Corpus, which will support a speech science research and development using Australian English and facilitate the development of Australian speech technology applications from automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis used in taxi and other ordering services, to hearing prostheses and talking head aids for learning-impaired children, and a range of security and forensic applications.Read moreRead less
