The NIE Corpus of Spoken Singapore English
The NIE Corpus of Spoken Singapore English aims to provide high-quality
recordings of Singaporean speakers. The aim of the corpus is to facilitate acoustic/phonetic analysis of
Singapore English. In order to eliminate background noise and thereby
facilitate acoustic/phonetic measurement, all recordings were made
directly onto the computer in the NIE Phonetics Laboratory.
