Abstract
Large auditory-visual speech corpora are the grist of modern
research in speech science, but no such corpus exists for
Australian English. This is unfortunate, for speech science is
the brains behind speech technology and applications such as
Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis, Automatic Speech
Recognition (ASR), speaker recognition and forensic
identification, talking heads, and hearing prostheses.
Advances in these research areas in Australia require a large
corpus of Australian English. Here we describe a blueprint for
building the Big Australian Speech Corpus (the Big ASC), a
corpus of over 1,100 speakers from all over Australia, urban
and rural; speakers of non-indigenous, indigenous,
ethnocultural, and disordered forms of Australian English;
each sampled on three occasions in a range of speech tasks
designed by the researchers who would be using the corpus.
