چکیده

To improve the automatic speech recognition component used within an intelligent, speech-based personal emergency response system, a collection of training and test speech was required of primarily older adults in emergency situations. This paper describes the development of the Canadian adult regular and emergency speech (CARES) corpus. The CARES corpus consists of a collection of read and spontaneous speech recordings from mainly adult actors aged 23-91 years with an emphasis on emergency type dialogue. A total of 40 participant voices are included in the corpus. More than 70% of the voices are adults over 50 years of age.
