ABSTRACT
The GOPOLIS database is a large multi-speaker speech database, derived from real
situation dialogs concerning airline timetable information services. It is
intended to be used as a the Slovenian speech database within the SQEL project
(Copernicus COP-94 contract No. 01634) for building a multi-lingual speech
recognition and understanding dialog system[1]. We describe our experience
in planning and collection of the database marterial. A proposed extension
of the Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA) to the Solvenian
language is presented as well.
