Ahoslabi-esophageal speech database

This corpus primarily consists of recordings of 31 laryngectomees (27 males and 4 females) pronouncing 100 phonetically balanced sentences.
Esophageal voices were recorded in a soundproof recording cubicle with a Neuman microphone.
The corpus also includes parallel recordings of the sentences by 9 healthy speakers (6 males and 3 females) to facilitate speech processing tasks that require small parallel corpora, such as voice conversion or synthetic speech adaptation. Apart from the sentences, the database also contains 4 sustained vowels and a small set of isolated words (14) which can be very valuable for research on esophageal speech analysis, diagnosis and evaluation.
