Automatic database acquisition software for ISDN PC cards and analogue boards

Abstract

This paper describes an application for automatic speechdatabases acquisition (ADA) developed by the authors in the framework of the EC Telematics Project SpeechDat II. The software is able to work with standard inexpensive PC cards for ISDN lines, as well as Dialogic Boards for analogue telephone lines. Both program versions share a common file format and configuration. Other important characteristics of the recording software are its simple set-up, a fast and flexible configuration of the recording session, the real-time monitoring of calls and disk space, and its proven robustness.
