 Description

The corpus contains speech data of 2 Czech native speakers, male and female. The speech is very precisely articulated up to hyper-articulated, and the speech rate is low. The speech data with a highlighted articulation is suitable for teaching foreigners the Czech language, and it can also be used for people with hearing or speech impairment. The recorded sentences can be used either directly, e.g., as a part of educational material, or as source data for building complex educational systems incorporating speech synthesis technology. All recorded sentences were precisely orthographically annotated and phonetically segmented, i.e., split into phones, using modern neural network-based methods.
