Intended Use
This dataset is intended for use in creating automatic speech generation and recognition systems.
The speaker is a 66-year-old anonymous woman from the Abruzzo region, in the province of Teramo. She speaks with a slight accent, which may be noticeable in some fragments.
The fragments are excerpts from Il fu Mattia Pascal by Luigi Pirandello and L’Argentina vista com’è by Luigi Barzini, published in Corriere della Sera in 1901–1902.
The Italian in the excerpts may contain some outdated words that still belong to standard Italian.
Failed attempts are collected in a separate folder. It is up to the speaker to decide whether an attempt was a failure.
