Databases for Emotion Recognition


InterfaceInterface is a Emotional Speech Synthesis Database recorded in a quiet environment. The database is designed for general study of emotional speech and analysis of emotion characteristics for speech synthesis purposes. It contains from 150 to 190 utterances for each of the 6 MPEG4 emotional styles in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish and Slovene). Each language contains utterances from two professional actors (one male and one female speakers). The database is produced and owned by the different speech partners (UMB for English and Slovene, L&H for French, UPC for Spanish) and has been sponsored by the European Commission in the scope of the INTERFACE project.
