AusKidTalk: an Australian children's speech corpus

该项目旨在创建一个大型的，可公开访问的注释澳大利亚儿童演讲语料库，这是目前澳大利亚和国际上都缺乏的。该语料库将为儿童语言的创新研究和语言科学家和工程师的培训提供至关重要的基础设施。预计它将被从事语音分析、处理和语音识别工作的研究人员用于开发心理学、教育、语言学、语音和语言病理学领域的应用程序，以及任何有可能使用语音控制软件让儿童参与健康和教育活动的领域。该项目将提供显著的好处，包括远程语言治疗、互动阅读辅导、发音指导和教育游戏等应用。

This project aims to create a large, publicly accessible corpus of annotated Australian children’s speech, which is currently lacking both in Australia and internationally. This corpus will provide the basic infrastructure vital for innovative research on children’s speech and the training of speech scientists and engineers. It is expected to be used by researchers working on speech analysis, processing and speech recognition to develop applications for use in the areas of psychology, education, linguistics, speech and language pathology, as well as any area that has potential to use speech-controlled software to engage children in health and education activities. This project will provide significant benefits, including applications such as remote speech therapy, interactive reading tutors, pronunciation coaching and educational games.
