In the subjective testing of telecommunications systems, it is
common to use recordings of speakers reciting phonetically
balanced sentences.  Is there a standard list or database of these
sentence?  Have any standards organizations ever agreed upon a
particular set of sentences to use for subjective tests?
Is there a database or digital tape or CD Rom of these
sentences for use in subjective tests?

Thank you for any information as soon as possible.
