Abstract:

A basic requirement for improvements in distant speech recognition is the availability of a respective corpus of recorded utterances. With microphone arrays now available off-the-shelf as part of the Microsoft Kinect, a common recording device for such a corpus is wide-spread. In this paper, we introduce KiSRecord, an open source recording tool that can be used to alleviate this situation for data collection. Thus, we provide the first steps towards a community sourcing effort for a speech corpus recorded with de-facto standard microphone arrays.
