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.

当代语音科学和技术是由大型语音语料库的可用性驱动的。尽管在美国，欧洲和日本使用的语言存在音频数据库，但目前没有大型的听觉 - 语言数据库，肯定不是澳大利亚英语的一种。在这里，我们将建立澳大利亚大型语音语料库，该语料库将使用澳大利亚英语支持语音科学研发，并促进澳大利亚语音技术应用程序的开发，从自动语音识别和出租车和其他订购服务中使用的文本到言论综合，到听取假体和对学习障碍儿童的倾听和交谈的头部辅助以及安全性和法医应用程序。
