Hello everybody,

since I am trying to build a german accoustic model from the actual voxforge corpus I noticed two things.

in the 16khz_16bit Folder :

- rebecca-20071016_de2

the wav de2-027 is missing. ( it is in the prompt though )

- anonymous-20100108-vhh

all the wav's contains no hearable sounds. Maybe happend during the downsample process.

I just though I let you know

Edit: Another thing. Serveral of the german prompts seem to contain the word two thousand. some even contain two thousands0 what indicate that 2000 was replaced by two thousands so 2000 become two thousand and 20000 became two thousand0.

Hi Bihn,

thanks for the fixes!

updated in: Changeset 6857

> rebecca-20071016_de2 the wav de2-027 is missing. ( it is in the prompt though )

removed de2-027 from prompt list

>anonymous-20100108-vhh

removed submission from repository

>Serveral of the german prompts seem to contain the word two thousand.

Not sure I understand what you are getting at here... I am not German, so if you can give me the prompt ids of the prompts with the problem and a correction, I can fix the submission applet

thanks,

Ken

I'm sorry. I forgot it isn't so obvious if you don't have it in front of your nose all the time.

Every file is the main folder/16khz_16bit

(ZWEITAUSEND is the german word for 2000)

Rest is one of these two sentences and should be replaced the same.

That is what I meant that it looked like a search and replace. Every occourence of the number 2000 seemed to be replaced by the englisch word for 2000(two thousands).

Since 2000 is part of 20000 we got some strange prompt with TWO THOUSAND0.

In case anyone wondered why I said it is better to take the word than the number. I encountered some serious problems while testing training with htk if the prompts contain numbers.

Hope it helps
