Multi-channel Digital Speech Database

About this dataset

1. Product Overview

A multi-channel digital speech database, totaling 349 hours and 300,966 sentences. Recordings were made in a quiet room using mobile phones or high-fidelity recording equipment. The audio was transcribed and annotated by professional linguists and underwent rigorous quality assurance, achieving a text accuracy rate of over 95%.

2. Speech Data Transcription

Transcribers reproduce the content based on the audio they hear, striving to ensure that the written text accurately reflects the spoken words. General guidelines are as follows: 1) The transcription must match the audio exactly—no extra words, missing words, or errors. 2) Numbers should be transcribed in Chinese characters, such as “一二三,” rather than “123”; distinguish between “一” and “幺.”
