Summary note
"The Boston University Radio Speech Corpus was collected primarily to support research in text-to-speech synthesis, particularly generation of prosodic patterns. The corpus consists of professionally read radio news data, including speech and accompanying annotations, suitable for speech and language research.... The main radio news portion of the corpus consists of over seven hours of news stories recorded in the WBUR radio studio during broadcasts over a two year period.... Each story read by an announcer was digitized in paragraph size units.... The paragraphs were annotated with the orthographic transcription, phonetic alignments, part-of-speech tags and prosodic markers."--Resource home page, LDC website.
