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。虽然存在美国、欧洲和日本语言的音频数据库，但目前还没有大型口语视听数据库，当然也没有澳大利亚英语的数据库。在这里，我们将建立澳大利亚大型语音语料库，该语料库将支持使用澳大利亚英语进行语音科学研究和开发，并促进澳大利亚语音技术应用的开发，从出租车和其他订购服务中使用的自动语音识别和文本到语音合成，到学习障碍儿童的听力假体和头颅辅助设备，以及一系列安全和法医应用。
