Introduction
Korean Broadcast News Speech was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 18 audio files totalling 13 hours of satellite radio news broadcasts in Korean. The broadcasts were recorded by LDC at transmission time during a two week period between January 21, 2000 and February 7, 2000.
Data
The recordings, captured from a dedicated satellite receiver, are stored as 16-bit PCM, 16-kHz, single-channel, in NIST SPHERE format. The duration of each recording is dictated by the VOA broadcast schedule; 10 are 30 minutes long, and eight are one hour long. The date (YYYYMMDD), start-time, and end-time (HHMM, Eastern Standard Time) for each recording are indicated in its file name. The sample data is not compressed.
The corresponding transcripts for these speech files are available in Korean Broadcast News Transcripts (LDC2006T14).
