<p>The CALLHOME Egyptian Arabic Speech Supplement was produced by Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), catalog number LDC2002S37 and ISBN 1-58563-243-0.</p><br>
<p>This publication contains 20 CALLHOME Egyptian Arabic telephone conversations. The corresponding transcripts are published as CALLHOME Egyptian Arabic Transcripts Supplement, LDC catalog number <a href="http://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2002T38" rel="nofollow">LDC2002T38</a>. These conversations had originally been held in reserve for future NIST HUB5 Non-English evaluations, but are being "re-tasked" to provide additional material for general use.</p><br>
