The corpus contains approximately 20,000 examples of roughly 18,000 speakers saying "yes" or "no" in response to various questions. </p><p>Each speech file in the corpus has a corresopnding orthographic transcription following the CSLU Labeling Conventions. In cases where a transcription did not already exist, the utterance was run through a speech recognizer to automatically obtain the transcription. </p><p>The data were collected from both analog and digital phone lines. The analog data were recorded using a Gradient Technologies analog-to-digital conversion box. These files were recorded as 16-bit, 8 khz and stored in a linear format. The digital data were recorded with the CSLU T1 digital data collection system. These files were sampled at 8 khz 8-bit and stored as ulaw files. All of the data use the RIFF standard file format. This file format is 16-bit linearly encoded. </p><h3>Samples</h3> <p>For a sample of the audio in this corpus, please listen to this <a href="./desc/addenda/LDC2007S05.wav" rel="nofollow">sample</a> . </p> </br>
