The current dicussion about various aspects of natural language
elicits me to ask the yearly query for examples of natural
language to test speech synthesis and recognition.
While a few people are working in these areas, there is lots of
interest by a naive public which does not understand all of the
issues in these areas. In an effort to aid testing, I ask for
sample text for either synthesis and/or recognition.
The existing informally collected file resides on aurora.arc.nasa.gov
in the directory pub and file can be grabbed using one of either two names:
speech.examples, or from a discussion in comp.arch on benchmarking names:
Rhosettastone (the file is identical).
Please email any example you might have to me as I do not reguarly read
comp.ai. I will include it into the file IF it does not alredy exist
in the file and does not contain potentially objectionable material
(taste, it is a Govt. machine and we have lots of bureaucrats around 8).
Credit will also be cited in the file.
Another gross generalization from

Does anyone know if sources are available for any of the 'SAM/PAM/ELI/TAILSPIN' series of programs ? (I have seen the 'micro' versions). Also, are there any PROLOG versions ? I would also be interested in any references or programs that deal with natural language generation. Thanks, Paul Field Department Of Computing, Imperial College, London, UK email: pdf@doc.ic.ac.uk
