Introduction
Levantine Arabic QT Training Data Set 5, Transcripts, was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortuim (LDC) and contains transcripts for approximately 250 hours (1,660 calls) of Arabic Levantine telephone conversation collected between 2003 and 2005. The corresponding speech files may be found in Levantine Arabic QT Training Data Set 5, Speech (LDC2006S29).
