Author: Sonya Sheffert, Lorin Lachs and Luis R. Hern‡ndez

Abstract:
This report describes the Hoosier Audiovisual Multi-Talker Database, a 3000 word multimodal video database developed at the Indiana University Speech Research Laboratory. The corpus consists of ten adult talkers (five male and five female) producing 300 familiar monosyllabic English words. Each spoken word is presented as a dynamic full-motion color movie. The database also includes information about the lexical characteristics and the intelligibility of each word.
