The Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS) was founded as a public institution in January 1995 and is hosted by the University of Munich, presently at the Institut für Phonetik und Sprachliche Kommunikation (IPSK).
BAS is dedicated to make databases of spoken German accessible in a well structured form to the speech science community as well as to speech engineering. Please find more information in the BAS web site.

CD ROM with articulatory data:

Articulatory data is available for 7 speakers on CDROM:
All recordings were performed with 4 sensors on the tongue, and one sensor on the jaw and lower lip.
The audio signal was synchronously recorded in digital format.

The speech material consists of 2 corpora:

All German vowels in 3 consonant contexts in a constant carrier phrase;
5 repetitions each at 2 speech rates. ·
108 sentences of about 15 syllables each.

These corpora are available free of charge to educational institutions.

The Articulograph AG100 software package allows unrestricted access to this data.
With a Windows 95 or Windows NT Computer you can see the movements and hear the speech
and can do all the evaluation procedures.
