Speech Feature Extraction

The repository describes the feature extraction methods for speech signals.

Free speech datasets

• OpenLSR: OpenSLR is a site devoted to hosting speech and language resources, such as training corpora for speech recognition, and software related to speech recognition.
• VoxForge: VoxForge is now mirroring the LT and the Teleccoperation group Open Speech Data Corpus for German with 35 hours of speech from about 180 speakers.
• TIMIT: The DARPA TIMIT Acoustic-Phonetic Continuous Speech Corpus.
• Mozilla Speech: Mozilla Releases the world's Second Largest Public Voice Data Set on Nov 29th, 2017.
• Open Data for Deep Learning

File description
