UCLA-IPA-Phonetic-Corpus

Dataset of ICASSP 2021 MULTILINGUAL PHONETIC DATASET Standarized to used IPA

Instructions

It is a cleaned version of the dataset in the orignal Github repository UCLA Phonetic Corpus. All entries are now IPA formatted and standarized. Each directory on the top level is corresponding to a language name identified by its 3 character ISO id. There are currently 97 languages in this dataset.

Inside each directory, there will be 3 files and 1 directory

• raw.old: it contains the original narrow phone annotations of each utterance. The first field is the utterance id.
• raw.new: it contains the IPA formatted narrow phone annotations of each utterance. The first field is the utterance id.
• text.txt: it contains the segmented and normalized transcription from the raw utterance.
• inventory: it is directory contains the unique phoneme/phone inventory for this language. It is derived from text.txt
• audio: it contains all the wav format audios of each utterance. Its name is the corresponding utterance id.
