Europarl-ASR

Europarl-ASR (EN) is a 1300-hour English-language speech and text corpus of parliamentary debates for (streaming) Automatic Speech Recognition training and benchmarking, speech data filtering and speech data verbatimization, based on European Parliament speeches and their official transcripts (1996-2020). Includes dev-test sets for streaming ASR benchmarking, made up of 18 hours of manually revised speeches. The availability of manual non-verbatim and verbatim transcripts for dev-test speeches makes this corpus also useful for the assessment of automatic filtering and verbatimization techniques.
