SI TEDx-UM is a new Slovenian spoken language resource built from TEDx Talks. The speech database contains 242 talks in total duration of 54 hours. The annotation and transcription of acquired spoken material was generated automatically, applying acoustic segmentation and automatic speech recognition based on UMB Broadcast News speech recongizer. The development and evaluation subset was also manually transcribed using the guidelines specified for the Slovenian GOS corpus. The SI TEDx-UM speech database can be used in various areas of speech technology (e.g: automatic speech recognition, speech to speech translation,…).
