Hi speech folks,

I am working on the field of the application of neural nets for cochlear 
implants. For my next experiments to train the nets I need a plenty of
 
SPEECH DATA.

Here is my cry for help:

I need data of spoken words, phonems, sentences uttered by different
speakers. Language doesn't matter, but I'd prefer English or German.
Format: binary (if available Entropic- ESPS).
Excellent recordings, no background noise.

Is there anybody who can provide me such data or does anybody know about
such data in public domain ?

I know, there are large commercial databases for that purpose but I don't
know how to access !

Thanks for your help,

				Manfred
