Dialogs Re-enacted Across Languages (DRAL) corpus
DRAL is a bilingual speech corpus of parallel utterances, using recorded conversations and fragments re-enacted in a different language. It is intended as a resource for research, especially for training and evaluating speech-to-speech translation models and systems. We dedicate this corpus to the public domain; there is no copyright (CC 0).
DRAL is described in a new technical report: Dialogs Re-enacted Across Languages, Version 2, Nigel G. Ward, Jonathan E. Avila, Emilia Rivas, Divette Marco.
Some initial analyses of this data are described in our Interspeech 2023 paper.
The releases include 2893 short matched Spanish-English pairs (> 2 hours) taken from 104 conversations with 70 unique participants. There are also some illustrative, lower-quality, pairs in Bengali-English, Japanese-English, and French-English. All are packaged together with the full original conversations and full re-enactment recording sessions.
