ELDA: the OpenSLR European mirror

In November 2021, ELDA opened the European mirror of the Open Speech and Language Resources (OpenSLR) repository which hosts speech and language resources, such as training corpora for speech recognition, and software related to speech recognition.

As of today, this repository comprises 113 resources representing almost 2 terabytes of data and covering a large number of languages, including low-resourced languages.

All resources are easily downloadable from OpenSLR. Licenses however may differ from one resource to another and should be checked carefully prior to use. The legal team at ELDA is available to assist users through the Helpdesk.

Resources can also be uploaded onto OpenSLR. Details are provided in the Contribute section.

OpenSLR is an initiative from the Johns Hopkins Center for Language and Speech Processing.
