1996 Hub-4 Broadcast News Development Test Data NIST Speech Disc R34-1.1 August 22, 1996 This recordable CD-ROM contains the waveforms required to implement the 1996 Hub-4 Development Tests. The SPHERE-formatted files contain excerpts from the broadcasts in the test pool which have been selected by NIST for inclusion in the Unpartitioned Evaluation (UE) Test Set and/or the Partitioned Evaluation (PE) Test Set. The waveform data has been excerpted from the complete broadcasts so that both the UE and PE Test Sets can fit on a single CD-ROM. This waveform files on this disc are as follows: icsp_waj/i960711p.sph CSP_WAJ (i) 960711 waveform (partial) knpr_mkp/k960712.sph NPR_MKP (k) 960712 waveform labc_prt/l960710.sph ABC_PRT (l) 960710 waveform ncnn_wvw/n960715p.sph CNN_WVW (n) 960715 waveform (partial) onpr_med/o960710p.sph NPR_MED (o) 960710 waveform (partial) pnpr_twd/p960712.sph NPR_TWD (p) 960712 waveform We have chosen to include only the waveform data on this CD-ROM so that sites may obtain the data at the earliest possible date. By the time sites receive these waveforms, the transcriptions, indices, and other textual data necessary to implement the tests will be available via anonymous ftp to jaguar.ncsl.nist.gov under the "csr96/h4/devtest" directory.

Also note that the time marks in these excerpted transcriptions and derivative files have been adjusted to correspond specifically to the excerpted waveforms on this disc.
