Hello again, I was on a while back asking about acquisition cards for our speech recognition project. My problem now is the availability of the TIMIT speech database. I have been given a contact e-mail address for a certain John Garafolo at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US but as yet have received no reply from him. I would like to get hold of this database, which comes in CD-ROM format, as soon as possible so if anyone knows anything I'd be grateful if they'd contact me at : oreillyj@ul.ie. Alternatively if you know of any other widely used databases I'd be interested to know of them. John O'Reilly, Neural Network Group, Dept. Electronic and Computer Engineering, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland. Phone : 353 - 61 - 333644 Fax : 353 - 61 - 330316

By doing so, NIST maintains the central focal point for this database. They have several other speech files that you may be interested in so ask for their list. If after all this you still can not obtain TIMIT then get back in touch with me. We may be able to supply it on compressed 8mm tape. -- Douglas G.
